RESOURCE GUARDING INTERACTIVE WEBINAR
90 minutes talking all things Resource Guarding - including exercises
But...why biting the hand that feeds??
Resource guarding is one of the most misunderstood dog behaviours.
In this interactive webinar, you'll learn how to recognise the early signs of resource guarding in dogs,
understand what your dog is trying to communicate through body language, and discover force-free strategies to prevent
and manage guarding around food, toys, spaces, and people.
Perfect for dog owners, trainers, and behaviour enthusiasts who want a deeper understanding
of canine communication and behaviour.
For example:
His head is quite low towards one of his favourite toys 🧸
while his eyes are looking in the exact opposite direction, way upwards. 🙄
It's as if he wants to look in both directions: he can't look away from his precious possession,
but he also can't look away from the human approaching it. ↕️
Believe it or not, this dog's communication through body language is trying to tell you
that he DOESN'T want to bite — he'd much rather you moved away. 💞
One of the most common signs associated with resource guarding in dogs is the "whale eye".
Learning to recognise these subtle communication signals can help prevent conflict
and improve your understanding of canine behaviour.
So, the moral of the story is simple: when you see the whale eye, remove your hand and give your dog some space.
✅️ Then come along for the ride in this deep dive into resource guarding — the true story.
