The Silent Language: Decoding Resource Guarding in Dogs

Host A introduces three compelling cases of resource guarding, from a Golden Retriever protecting his food bowl to a rescue pit bull defending toys, while Host B breaks down the evolutionary basis of this behavior. They explore how early experiences and inadvertent reinforcement can escalate guarding behaviors, with detailed analysis of subtle warning signs most owners miss. The episode culminates in a step-by-step breakdown of counter-conditioning protocols, including specific distance thresholds, high-value trade items, and proper body language during training sessions.
