Understanding and Addressing Resource Guarding in Dogs

Graeme Hall explains how to let your dog know that you’re the leader of the household. This doesn’t mean bullying or being aggressive, it means setting clear boundaries so your dog knows what’s expected of them. Your body language and tone of voice play a part too. He also helps three listeners with their leadership-related problems, including one woman whose dog only seems to respect her, whilst acting aggressively towards her partner.
