Canine Development and Testing

This advice has been around forever. Reach into the bowl while your dog eats. Desensitize them. Show them hands near food are normal. 🛑Please stop!

You’re creating so much conflict and pressure around the resources. The easiest way to avoid resource guarding before it starts is to give your day a safe space to eat, like their crate.

Teach them that you’ll provide resources for them, and that you’re safe and predictable.

If your dog is already guarding food or high value items, DM me “Kibbles” to chat!

Your dog isn’t “anxious.”

They’re under-stimulated.
They’re over-managed.
They’re confused about expectations.

Most “anxiety” in pet dogs isn’t a disorder.

It’s unmet drive.
It’s zero decompression time.
It’s freedom with no structure.
