About this episode
Tara and Laura discuss the early signs of resource guarding in dogs and how to recognize them.
Was that a sign of resource guarding? This week, Tara and Laura cover some of the signs of general resource guarding that many people will miss. Resource guarding is natural in all animals, but many times people won’t notice the subtle signs of his behavior. The more confidence a dog builds with these simple behaviors the more likely it can escalate. Sponsored by K9 Workingmind This episode was edited and mastered by The WillaWoman.
