Resource guarding ❌ Dogs can resource guard humans. This behavior occurs when a dog views a person as a valuable resource and becomes protective, often showing behaviors like growling, snapping, or blocking access to “their” person. This is usually rooted in insecurity and possessiveness. It is important to not let behaviors like this manifest as they can lead to big issues down the line. #dogtraining #dogtrainingtips #puppytraining #rescuedog #doglover | Cherry Hoggs

Instead of backing away and giving the dog what they are guarding, we need to do the opposite, and correct the behavior.

Resource guarding is an issue SO many dogs (and their owners) struggle with, because there’s a lot of false info out there about it. Resource guarding is one of the most simple behaviors to eliminate, we do it in one session historically. If you’ve been told to “trade” your dog for something of higher value to stop this behavior, and you’re wondering why you’re still struggling… It’s because all you’re doing is reinforcing the guarding. Your dog is growling at you over something and then you pre

To be clear, when I mentioned using the broom to block the aggression and stand ground, that was one OPTION for this particular case. The best way to deal with resource guarding is to prevent it in puppyhood by practicing leadership and teaching a puppy to be calm around food. If you've missed that window and your dog has developed resource guarding, their best option is to work with a professional who can help you understand why it's happening, what changes to make and how to deal with the guar

Resource guarding is when a dog becomes protective over food, toys, or even their favorite spot. While it’s a natural instinct, it can lead to stress or aggression if not handled properly. The solution lies in patience, trust-building, and positive training—never punish, instead teach your dog that sharing is safe and rewarding. With consistency, resource guarding can be managed and turned into calm behavior. #dogtraining #resourceguarding #dogbehavior #dogcare #dogsofinstagram #doglover #dogpar

Recently we had a comment on our podcast about a dog owner whose 14 week old dog is already guarding and trying to bite her over food. 14 weeks old… 🤯 sadly this is the reality for SO many dog owners out there. And it just doesn’t need to be. We stop resource guarding in one session historically. Resource guarding can happen at any age, but of course, it’s always best to stop it as early as possible, or prevent it from happening altogether. This is why we stress proactive training as much as we

What is the difference between resource guarding and barrier guarding?

The dog feels the need to protect these resources and may exhibit behaviors such as growling, snapping, or even biting if someone gets too close. Barrier guarding occurs when a dog becomes protective or defensive when blocked from something or when physically confined. This often happens when a

Classic case of resource guarding. That’s what Enzo is here for along with a host of other issues. And since he’s been here we’ve been asked a lot by breed specific groups “is it genetic? Does the breeder know their lines are doing this?” Etc etc the list goes on. Here’s the funny thing about resource guarding- it’s not necessarily as much genetic as it is LEARNED (and usually accidentally reinforced) Most dogs, regardless of breed, will absolutely resource guard food from eachother.
