The 10 Days to Stop Resource Guarding course is designed to help dog owners address and manage resource guarding behaviours in their dogs. This course is ideal for those dealing with dogs that exhibit guarding behaviours over food, toys, or space, which can create tension and pose safety concerns. Here's an overview of what the course offers:
-
Understanding Resource Guarding: The course begins by exploring why resource guarding happens, emphasising that it's not about dominance or bad behaviour, but rather about the dog's emotions and experiences.
-
Daily Games and Strategies: Over the course of 10 days, you'll be introduced to a toolkit of games, strategies, and practical theory to help your dog develop the skills they need to feel secure and relaxed around resources.
-
Management Strategies: You'll learn how to manage your dog's environment to prevent guarding behaviours before they start, ensuring a safer and more harmonious household.
-
Building Key Skills: The course focuses on building key skills in your dog, such as disengagement and optimism, through fun and simple games.
By the end of the course, you'll have a clearer understanding of your dog's resource guarding behaviour and the tools to create a trusting, conflict-free relationship with your dog around food, toys, space, and other resources.
As an additional learning opportunity, you can join the Games Club to further enhance your training and learning experience.
