Understanding Possessive Behaviour in Dogs

Cheltenham

Dates: 14/11/2025

Venue: Cheltenham Animal Shelter

Does your dog not like to share? Are they possessive towards their things such as, toys and treats? Your dog may be resource guarding.

Resource guarding is when a dog becomes defensive in order to keep people or other animals away from their food, treats, toys, beds, certain places, favourite items, or even a person.

This workshop is aimed at those who want to learn more about resource guarding and how to manage this behaviour through practical and theory-based teaching brought to you by our behaviour team.

You will cover topics such as how to manage resource guarding behaviours, tips to prevent resource guarding from worsening, advice on how to work with resource guarding, training techniques to help with resource guarding - and so much more!

The session will include demos with a rescue dog and videos to demonstrate the body language of dogs while resource guarding.

This workshop will run for 2 hours (with light refreshments provided!) and you will leave with an information pack which will include a special offer on one-to-one consultations with our behaviourists if you would like further help and support for your dog(s).

**Please note that unfortunately you are not permitted to bring your own dog(s) to this workshop**
