How to deal with Resource Guarding
Does your dog guard toys, chews, or things they’ve found on walks?
In this video, Janice Gunn explains a , non-confrontational way to prevent and resolve resource guarding — whether it’s a bully stick, a rawhide, or a sock stolen from the laundry basket.
You’ll learn how to build a simple “trade” pattern that helps your dog willingly give things up, without stress or conflict. By turning letting go into a win — where your dog gets a treat or another toy — you’ll replace anxiety and defensiveness with confidence and trust.
A practical, positive approach that teaches cooperation instead of confrontation.
