Does your dog growl, snap or even bite when you approach them with a toy, food bowl or something random like a sock? That’s called possessive aggression, or resource guarding — and it’s more common than you might think.
In this video, Dr. Lisa Radosta explains why dogs guard things and what you can do to help.
It’s NOT about dominance. It’s often rooted in fear, stress, anxiety, or even medical issues.
You’ll learn:
• Common triggers for possessive aggression
• How genetics, puppy experiences, or human mistakes can fuel guarding
• Why punishing growls or trying “dominance tests” backfires
• What to do instead: Back off safely, manage the environment, and work with a qualified pro
• How to use positive methods like desensitization, counter-conditioning, and safe “trade ups”
💡 Important: If this sounds like your dog, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to tackle it alone. Find a board-certified veterinary behaviorist or credentialed professional who uses reward-based training.
🐾 Your dog isn’t bad. They’re telling you they’re not okay—and you have the power to help them feel safe.
