Resource Guarding between Animals: Causes and Remedies is a 90 minute webinar, live on January 7, 2015 and then recorded for OnDemand viewing. What causes fights between dogs over food, toys, etc? How can you stop resource guarding between dogs from starting, or end it once it has begun?
This webinar will discuss competition between dogs and a few other pet species for available resources. These resources can include: food, favored resting stations, toys, the affections/attention of people or any other thing the environment offers. The competition comes in different forms and often escalates until animals will actually hurt or kill each other. This webinar will also discuss strategies for preventing and resolving such competition.
