How to Teach Your Puppy to Share

Written By Michal McCracken


Have you ever noticed your dog growling at you when you go near their food bowl or favourite toys, or when you approach them when they’re on the couch?  

Or has your dog ever growled at someone who is approaching you?  

These are all examples of Resource Guarding. 


In this video I teach you what Resource guarding is, what it isn’t, and how you can teach your dog to enjoy sharing their food, toys, favorite sleeping spot, and even you.

It’s crucial that you teach your dog that there are wonderful benefits to giving up their coveted item or location, otherwise you or someone you love could be on the receiving end of a nasty bite.
