Resource-Guarding Prevention

Resource guarding is a behavioral issue in dogs where they protect items like food, toys, or even people from perceived threats.

In this concise educational guide, I'll walk you through what resource-guarding is, how to prevent it, and a protocol to use for dogs who commonly steal items around the home (which could quickly develop into resource-guarding!)
