When your dog chews on a raw recreational bone🦴, especially a meaty one🍖 with cartilage and soft tissue still attached, their teeth🦷 get the equivalent of a good brushing and flossing, but they’re doing the work, not you. In fact, one study found offering dogs raw bones removed the majority of plaque🪥 and tartar from the molars and the first and second premolars in less than three days!

Sadly, there are dogs in this world that will never get to enjoy the good chew of a bone🦴 due to a behavior called resource guarding, which can be one of the most challenging behaviors to manage in dogs. Whether your dog is becoming possessive over their food, raw meaty bones, or toys, or reacting defensively to a situation out of fear, these behaviors can lead to stressful and potentially dangerous situations. The good news is that they can be managed with the right training techniques.

If your dog is resource guarding, is leash reactive, or exhibiting aggression toward other animals or humans. Understanding the underlying causes of these behaviors and implementing the proper training techniques can make a significant difference in managing these behaviors.

If you’re navigating these challenges, have a reactive dog, or want to learn how to keep yourself and your dog safe from aggression, we’ve got the perfect episode for you.

This Sunday on the Inside Scoop, we’re joined by Michael Shikashio, CDBC, a leading expert in canine behavior and aggression. He’ll be sharing practical solutions for common issues like:

🦮 How to protect yourself and your dog from aggressive or overaroused off-leash dogs.

🦮 Techniques for safely breaking up a dog fight.

🦮 Defensive handling strategies and emergency scenarios with aggressive dogs.

🦮 How stress and fear fuel aggression—and how to address these root causes.

Tune in this Sunday at 12 PM ET for expert advice, actionable tips, and demonstrations that will help you feel more confident and prepared when dealing with dog aggression.

Comment SCOOPERS and we'll message you the link to join Inside Scoop, a Planet Paws monthly subscription group. All live podcasts are recorded and available to watch later. You’ll also be able to watch over 5 years of content including: past live podcasts, interviews, ebook downloads, and more!

Some time ago we've posted a blog and a slow motion video about the game of fetch (repetitive ball throwing) and alternatives to it.

⚠️ Not only can the activity be dangerous for the dog’s limbs, especially the ligaments in the toes, wrists and knees, but if the ball is bouncing off in unpredictable directions we are also risking injuries to other parts of the body (bones, ligaments, joints and muscles).

We have gathered some comments we found below our posts...
