Meet Chumlee (photo 1) and Stan (photo 2) – two lovely dogs who recently started having disagreements at home due to resource guarding. Like many households with multiple dogs, tensions can sometimes build around valuable things such as food, toys, or attention.
Rather than letting the situation escalate, their owners reached out for support – and within the very first week we’ve already seen a positive shift.
One of the key changes was introducing some simple but effective management, including the baby gate you can see in photo 3. This allows both dogs to have clear boundaries, their own space, and reduced pressure around resources, which is often the first step in helping dogs feel safe again.
Behaviour work isn’t just about training commands – it’s about understanding what the dogs are communicating, recognising their individual needs, and setting the environment up so they can succeed.
With Chumlee and Stan, this early progress shows how small, thoughtful changes can make a big difference when the right behaviour strategies are put in place.
I’m really looking forward to continuing their journey and helping these two build a calmer, more positive relationship with each other. 💛
