RESOURCE GUARDING
|
|
| "Resource Guarding" is a tendency some dogs have to protect things near and dear to them. Food, toys, bones, treats, favorite spot on the sofa, favorite family member... anything that has meaning to them or they want to keep another being from encroaching on.
Resource guarding is normal dog behavior and shouldn't automatically be considered aggression. In most cases it is an undesirable habit that can be modified. |
| So the "aggression" towards some dogs and not others, skate boards and some kids on bicycles could actually be this when we thought it was she just didn't like them?. |
| sound slike it could be a couple of things but doesn't sound like aggression - that word is really overly judgemental. DOgs are by nature aggressive - towards food, towards others outside their pack. we have bred most of it away from the surface, but it is the nature of DOG so it probably isn't ever truly gone and it isn't always bad. It can be anti social and can make living with your dog more difficult, but if you had a truly aggressive dog you wouldn't be asking these questions most likely.
