Does your dog have food "aggression" or resource guarding problems? Share below! Also, i just updated my new dog food list, check it out here: www.rachelfusaro.com/dogbetter
For anyone reading this: I know that dog training can be difficult sometimes, but you're doing great. Keep up the good work, and your dog (and your own sanity) will thank you for it!
I needed to hear this today, thanks!
@@christinanoname5773 I'm glad it helped. You're going through the steps, so you've just got to trust in the process. Keep up the great work! ❤️💕
Yes pls do a DROP IT video Rachel 🙏🏻
you got it!
It’s interesting that a few of us here in the comments have Golden puppies. Mine is 6 months. We are working with a trainer currently in hopes of seeing some improvement.
I am glad that this works for you. I have a dog who has had so many issues with resource guarding. I tried trading, but what people don't realize is that sometimes you can't trade up. Unfortunately, my dog was able to get ahold of chocolate, and we couldn't get him away without getting bit, and there is nothing in the world that would have gotten him away from the chocolate. He most commonly resource guards little pieces of trash that are dangerous for him to have and even if we got him away with a high value treat he would take the treat and run right back and try to bite anyone if they tried to take the item even if he was getting a treat. My dog is very smart and realized that all he had to do was steal and then he would get a high value reward. Eventually I realized he needed training so I went to a positive trainer who after my dog snapped at another dog and she did nothing and didn't tell me what I should have done I had so much anxiety about training which effected my dog. After that I found a different trainer who was a balanced trainer, now my dogs resource guarding is almost full gone and our bond has never been better. They do teach that you should be able to take something from your dog but it is different then most people think if my dog doesn't care that I took it he gets it right back along with lots of praise if he tries to attack he loses the item for a little and we try again. There will be moments for every dog owner that your dog will get ahold of something potentially dangerous and you need to be able to take it away without risk of injury.
Agree some dogs will guard even when you have a higher value food in my mind it isn't always for a dog.
Hi,
Any tips you can recommend? I have a dog very similar!
Yep, positive only trainers is BULLSHIT. They tell me my puppy’s resource guarding is “genetic” blah blah.
Fixed that shit in 1 week with DISCIPLINE, and also trading up and teaching I won’t take their stuff unless I need to
@@DaveL1994 I fixed my toy/treat guarding puppy. I tried positive only but it wasn’t working. So i had to show my dog that gaurdinf doesn’t work with me by not backing down and using leash pressure to communicate that I didn’t like the behavior. After some fair discipline he stopped gaurding nearly as much. Then I started taking his toy or treat and giving him cheese which he loves and giving the toy back. Now he never guards lol it’s only been a week
I took my dog ro puppy socialising all positive classes, it was a big mistake, my puppy was a rescue and had been starved so food was very precious to him , all those treats were a major source of anxiety to him , he's now 5 he has very slight issues but are mostly under control, I just make sure I'm the one in control of resources, he's happy with that , I never treat with other dogs around him I never let others treat him , he knows I keep him safe .
You are a life saver I love your videos and tips Rachel I just recently adopted a Pitbull and your videos are helping me a great deal..
Great advice 🐾💙 Thank you so much.
Thank you!
Can you do a video of resource guarding between dogs?
Yes! Please do a Drop It video! Thanks!😊
Hi! Do you have any tips on dogs who resource guard their owners?
Hi Rachel, great advice!! Just wondering if it will work with older dogs? I have a 3yo who resource guards food, furniture 😢
Hi I’ve been watching your videos to find out what is the best food for a dog and how to teach a dog some tricks. I been wanting a puppy for a while. I’m just wondering if you can make a video on what is the best food for puppy’s?
Thanks, Rachel!
Your videos are vary helpful!😀
Is there a dog food review coming soon!? Anxiously waiting for the Dr Marty's review!
Not related but your hair looks great in this vid!! hair products video next?? lol love your content as always
gosh you are so kind! thank you for saying that 😍 I wish i had some good tips, i actually do very little and avoid a lot of products. I will say i love adding collagen to my coffee! Apparently it helps skin and hair, just like dogs lol
@@RachelFusaro omg which collagen brand do you use?! I've recently started a skincare routine and read in my research that collagen is more beneficial ingested than used in skincare products!
awesome video! i have a little question though, what should i do when i have to take the chew/toy that we r training drop it with? ive been distracting my dog with down stays and other commands until she forgets to look for the chew, then i take it when shes distracted and its gone until our next training session. but I'm not sure if this is the right way to go about it, and whether i should keep doing this or if i can simply take something and put it away for another time once my dog is happy to let me take things from her mouth?
yes, please make a drop it video.
My Great Pyrenees is very protective of myself and my adult daughter that lives with me. My daughter's boyfriend has been bitten twice now because he approached my daughter. Each time, my daughter had food near her. I don't know if that had anything to do with the attack. What can we do if the "resource" is a human?
Hi Rachel,
Wondering if you could talk about resource guarding outside the home.
My 1.5 year old dog started resource guarding balls (that don't belong to him). I walk him off leash in an area with multiple dogs. I don't bring a ball but if someone throws a ball, he runs after it. Once he has the ball, he becomes aggressive with any dog that approaches. Even if I give the ball back to the owner, he guards the spot where I took the ball. He barks, & lunges at dogs AND the person who owns the ball....basically snaps (but not towards me). He doesn't resource guard anything in the house or with the family.
This was a great video Rachel. Great tips!
Yeah, I really Liked the JackPot tip.
It was helpful!
Yes please do a drop it video
Hi Rachel I'm from Malaysia... Love your videos btw ....can plz review the purigo (they have probiotics and supplements) want to buy for my poodles but scared ...is that ok if u review and let me and everyone else know about this brand
My big dog just snapped on my chihuahua over a piece of chicken that fell on the porch. They each were given some, the crumb that fell was what was the catalyst. I wonder if I need to put the big dog down now. We also have cats and live by small kids who roam around eating all the time. I can't take the chance her aggression will stop at a smaller dog, what if it escalates?
My puppy takes wee wee pad & growls when I take away. I tra D.R e for treats so he doesn't shred & eat it. I feel like I'm rewarding him though.
Suggestions?
Forgot to say that my dog Louis can also be a real sweetheart too.
We have a 4 1/2 month old Golden retriever that is resource guarding his food and its only his food. We got him at 8 wks and he has almost always ate faster if we came close while he was eating. Your video has provided a different approach from what someone advised so I'm going to switch up and see if that helps.
Thanks
I thought my 8 month old golden retriever was getting better with this. She has snapped at me but really bit me today when I got too close while she was having her treat. She broke skin but thankfully it’s minor. If she gets food there is no way I can get it away from her.
My dog is very smart and knows - similarly if he takes something he will get a treat for it so does negative behavior trying to receive a positive reward. He gets very aggressive in playing as well he will hurt us by pushing toys into our legs, growling, wrapping his legs around ours etc and being overly “mean” it’s not normal play. He resource guards things he’s not supposed to have. Not so much his toys or bones - he lets us take those. But if he grabs things he knows he’s not supposed to have he will growl, snarl and has bit me multiple times in the past. Any advice on how to help? Thank you!
Hey Rachel!! I got a question… I just got a 9 week old puppy, but soon after we got her we discovered she had worms. Do you have any advice on how I should feed her or what would help?
I've worked with many dogs and the positive only training doesn't work for behavior issues great for party tricks like sits, stands and paws but not behavior issues, if your dog resource guards then you need step up and be there leader, if they trust and respect you then you won't need to even worry about resource guarding. I've never had to "train" my own dogs to stop resource guarding, because what I say and do goes no matter what. and they love, trust, and respect that fact. They are man's best friend, not best friend to the treats, which so many people try to make you believe. this "science based" training is getting out of hand. any one else agree?
We've been having major issues with our 1 year old Golden with this. He is very aggressive when it comes to food and for safety reasons we've resorted to feeding him in a crate as we have several small children and another dog he's gone after over food the kids dropped before. Do you think feeding him in a crate would be harmful? When hand feeding him he's perfectly fine, but any time he's eating anything in a bowl or on the floor that he finds and you approach he growls, snarls and even bites. Thank you!
I have the same issue with my 7 month old pup 😞
Like Rachel said, throw higher value treats BEFORE he gets stiff or starts to react, then walk away. You're trying to change the trigger, so he's thinking where's my treat rather than I'm going to nail you. Will take a little bit and a few tries before you get to that point, but it does work. From the time I get my dogs they get more and better food treats when hands are near the food dish. If they're growling when you're half way across the room, then start at 3/4 of the way from where the dog is and throw the higher value treat, then walk away. Eventually, after several sessions, you'll be able to get right next to them and drop a piece of liverwurst in their dish - but do not rush it! You have to go at the dog's pace to be successful, otherwise it could be a set back. This is one behavior you don't want to ignore too. Can be very dangerous and potentially lifelong if not treated. Hope that helps.
Please teach drop it!
Rachel, I didn't see the list of holistic vets.
Help! My sweet pit wants to guard our new kitten from the other dogs. Everybody get along great till the kitten is in the area. He now snarls and lunges at his fellow dog mates
Ok but what do I do if/when she does growl at me 😭😭 I sometimes literally cannot sit on the same piece of furniture as her without getting my hand taken off !!! But sometimes she’s completely fine with lying on top of me ?
Find a BALANCED trainer ASAP.. FF/PP is going to get no response or make things WORSE for DOMINANT dogs like YOURS. this false information that you can't use discipline is RUINING countless lives both dog and human. Good luck
I’m glad to see some one thinks like me . Resource Guarding is Not Good. WOW! I had a bunch of people shovel it to me for mentioning this on a Pinterest picture. 🤦♀️ My thoughts if foolish people want this behavior in their dogs , they’re in for a rude and possibly dangerous awakening. Who Suffers in the long run. The Poor Dog
My 2 and 1/2 year old Cocker Spaniel, Louis resource guards both me and my husband. We cannot even hug without him acting out. He does not guard food or toys. He does guard me, my husband, anything that we accidentally drop, napkins, socks, shoes. His entire demeanor changes and his eyes look crazy. I don't know that my husband's relationship with Louis or my relationship with him is toxic. We are considering training or giving him up and trying to find a single male owner for him. Unfortunately I did not notice these issues when he was just a puppy. We have recently reached out to a training center where he stays there. It cost thousands of dollars, but now I am thinking it won't work with this severe resource guarding issue. Your guidance?
We have tried using high value treats and sometimes he will leave the shoe or sock or whatever he's guarding and sometimes he will not go for it. This is taking it's toll on our marriage. Can even sit together or hug/kiss without Louis guarding!
Looks like several want a drop it so show lots of take and release games especially for high drive dogs. Tx
Hi friend! Yes you are right, working on it!
My dog snarls or try to bite when try to pet him. I dont know what's wrong
Interested in “drop it” training
What do you do when your dog gets reactive towards other dogs when you come near the other dog? My dog loves to play with the neighbors dog and they play really well. He is an miniature American Eskimo but he is a lot bigger that my dog. My dog is a 7lb Shepoo.
He always has bone and a ball laying around in the back yard and he like to tease her with them. She sees that he has a bone or a toy and she barks at the end of her tie out and tries to get to whatever he has. I have tried to get her favorite toy out and distract her with play but she doesn't seem interested. I have even got out the roast beef and she won't take it. She is solely focused on whet he has and she doesn't give up. So I have to take her inside and play for a while. After being inside for about a half hour she wants to go back outside and it starts all over again.
I really don't have any other place to take her in my yard since there are busy roads all around me except the back yard. What do I do?😢
Take up all potential resources in the yard so they can play without incident. Hope that helps.
A drop it video would be appreciated please
Working on it now :)
Yes would love this too
Help :(
My dog growls at dogs who tries to play with her. But she grew up in a home with a couple of dogs! So I can’t say she wasn’t socialized :\
Drop it video, please!🎉
Great idea! I will add it to my list!
"Drop It"
My dog started guarding the bed. I have three dogs and they have one large bed and now my other two dogs are afraid to approach. She won't bite but she will growl and give them side eye. She won't do this to humans at all just my other two dogs. She's the same with toys. No problem with food because they all eat separately and even if they come close to each other she won't react. Im having issues with her guarding the bed and toys and even myself now. She'll guard me a little bit if she's getting attention and her siblings approach. What's the best way to stop this behavior? I'm afraid I'm making it worse by trying to help. (Also, their toys aren't out all the time for them to take and play with she'll just do it whenever there's a toy present)
She may need her own bed, away from the other 2 dogs. You have to step up and keep your other dogs safe so they're not afraid. Might have to have a house line (six foot leash with handle cut so it doesn't catch on anything - only on her when you are there to supervise) on the growly one. Keep her bed away, so she can't attack when the other 2 are trying to get to their bed. I treat my guys in the order they came into the house as well. The first dog I own, down to the last, gets fed in that order, leash put on first, petted first, even trained first, etc. Try not to use people names or dog names as it tends to creat jealousy. I have a baby gate up so the other dogs can see me working with the first dog, so by the time it's the last dog's turn, they got the training exercises. My walks are all separate too - gets some one on one time with Mom, and gets them away from the other dogs for a bit. Hope that helps.
This behavior stopped since I made this post I discovered she was guarding my closet because my scent was there and the bed was near I later saw she took one of my socks and was guarding that as well I ended up moving the bed away from that area and removed the sock when she wasn't looking and the behavior stopped and she hasn't done anything like it since so I feel very lucky that seemed to work but these are all amazing tips I hadn't thought about especially walking them all separately and giving each one time away from the others I will definitely be doing that. thank you!
The frustrating thing for me is that she is resource guarding anything. Could be something I put down, like my phone. It is harder to predict her behaviour when my cat walking by, or just sitting somewhere - she barks and lunges. Sometimes she is lunges and growls, and I have no idea what she could be guarding because I was just sitting at the desk with my cat. I do want to say that most times they get along.
I think being out in off leash areas with balls being thrown everywhere has affected her for the worse. It’s so hard because I just started to bring her to off leash areas so she can play and run, which actually is stress free some of the times with the right dogs.
consider watching a leadership and discipline-based trainer whose methods actually works👍
How do you hand feed raw food?
Can you please talk about stopping biting and nipping early on? I have a 9 week old golden retriever & I know he's a baby but holy crap, we cab barely walk through the house without him taking ahold of my ankle or clothes.
Strangest behavior- if anyone except me reaches across my dog and she doesn’t see the hand coming, she reacts like she’s shocked and on guard.
Trying to figure it out. She’s otherwise a sweet well behaved dog but this is a mystery. She’s healthy and gets plenty of outside time plus exercise
This is the topic I want to understand because my dog is resource guarding everything except for food 😂😂 she would resource guard her toys her sticks her dentastix but other treats she would care less😂😂
teach drop it please
After training for 14 yrs this is putting them in charge.
My dog has been showering aggressive behavior towards my younger brother when he approaches me or like is play-fighting with me. Is this resource guarding?
I have two English bulldogs. My male resource cards with toys against my female and vice versa. they never resource guard against people, just each other. Any advice on how this could apply to other dogs who don’t offer treats to one another?
How can you be sure that dogs brain processes that as being rewarded for guarding?

He wont go for the treats being tossed he just swallows whatever he has whole before he thinks of dropping
He wont trade either

Structure and discipline seems to be lacking in this kind of approach. The dog gets to know it can dominate you, it wins. All you are doing is placating.The dog gets to know oh I’ll be nice as long as you give me everything I want. You are the master, the dog lives in your house, you already feed it bath it pick up its poop. Now all it has to do is grow or bite, and it gets what ever it wants. Would you let your children treat you like that. 🤷♂️🤦♂️
Yes I'd love to hear how to have a dog drop something out of their mouth
