Is your dog suddenly growling over food, toys, or even you?

Many pet parents miss the early red flags of resource guarding until it turns into full-blown dog aggression and the advice they get from friends or online groups often makes things worse. If you’ve ever felt anxious when your dog “guards” something, this episode will help you understand why it happens and what you can do to prevent it from escalating.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:

•  How to spot the subtle signs of resource guarding before they spiral
•  Why some dogs develop guarding behavior  or in the first place
•  What to do, and what to avoid, when you see signs of dog aggression or your dog guards food, toys, or people
