Resource guarding is a common problem in dogs with a wide variety of behavioral presentations. The condition is sometimes referred to as possessive aggression, and it poses a serious risk of injury when aggression is directed toward humans or other animals. Resource guarding can negatively affect the human-animal bond and the dog’s social relationship with other animals. In this webinar, Kenneth Martin, DVM, DACVB, will discuss prevention, establishing a diagnosis, and treatment recommendations.

Attendees will learn:
– How to provide dog owners with general recommendations for the prevention of resource guarding in dogs
– Specific training exercises helpful for preventing and treating resource guarding in dogs
– Behavior modification techniques and medications that can be helpful in treating possessive aggression
