In this video, we explore one of the most important concepts when it comes to our interactions with our dogs - Touch Imprint. Your dogs experience of touch, how it makes them feel - and how that determines all of your other interactions with them, as absolutely crucial to your relationship.
In this Deep Dive, we go through a practical demonstration on guarding behaviour with Charlie and Fleur, and show you how human behaviour directly impacts how guarding can be triggered or resolved.
In this introductory video to our Guarding Dynamics series, we explore the human-do interactions that create guarding behaviour. The different types, where they come from and what we can do about it.
Picking up objects that they find is a very normal part of being a Puppy. How you respond can have a big impact on how your puppy perceives the value of these objects, and over time can be a significant factor in how guarding or possessive behaviours form.
How many toys and chews does your dog need? One? Five? One hundred? In this video we discuss healthy habits for sharing objects, and the most useful toys and chews to have around with a young puppy.
In this Video, we explore Conflict Resolution - the principle of disagreeing with behaviours you don’t want, and resolving those disagreements effectively.
Sharing a chew with your puppy, and teaching them how to receive it and give it calmly is an essential skill to get in place early on. Building on the touch imprint, and expanding on conflict resolution principles builds a solid foundation to prevent guarding issues further along the line.
