A one day course looking at - RESOURCE GUARDING

For trainers who are working with dogs exhibiting resource guarding behaviours, this course will help you understand the subject of resource guarding better to be able to help dogs and owners who are dealing with this issue.

The course is also for trainers who aren't working with resource guarding dogs but are interested in understanding more about the subject in order to identify dogs who might be displaying resource guarding behaviours and who are working with dogs in a 121 capacity or in group classes to prevent the opportunity for resource guarding behaviours to be practised
