Explore the Complexities of Resource Guarding in Dogs with Experts Judy Moore and Ness Jones
Are you puzzled by your dog’s tendency to guard certain items or spaces from you, even when you are just trying to play with him? Dive into this insightful podcast hosted by Ness Jones, featuring me, Judy Moore, Canine Behavior Modification Expert. Together, we unravel the reasons behind why some dogs choose to guard items, even when it puts them in conflict with the people they are suppose to like.
Understanding Resource Guarding vs. “Pushy Rule Setting”
Join me in this podcast as I delve deeply into the nuances of dog behavior, helping you distinguish between genuine resource guarding and what I refer to as a “pushy Rule Setter” demeanor. I clarify the behavioral differences, and explain why some dogs guard their belongings or spaces, while others may just be asserting their preferences or rules.
Recognizing the Signs of Guarding and Promoting Positive Behavior Change
This podcast is essential listening for dog owners who want to learn the signs of resource guarding so they can address the behavior in a purposeful way. I share practical advice on how you can interpret your dog’s behavior. I also tell you when it is necessary for you to be concerned or not.
You will discover effective strategies and methods that focus on positive reinforcement, which is key to reshaping your dog’s guarding tendencies. These techniques are proven to be effective whether you have a young puppy or an older dog exhibiting these behaviors.
Commitment to Change: Patience and Consistency are Key
Resource guarding can be a deeply ingrained habit for some dogs. It may take several days of consistent training and reinforcement through engaging games and activities before your dog begins to modify their behavior. As I emphasize in this podcast, with you as a positive, patient coach, your dog is capable of making great progress!
