Lost pup

07/06/24: Found in the parking lot of Joe Donut, located at 720 E. Rand Road in Mt. Prospect.

Male Golden Retriever, no collar or tags, very very friendly and also very overweight. The microchip registers to someone who claims they never owned this dog. Due to some unknowns at this point this dog will still be subject to the stray hold period pending additional information or locating the owner.
If he isn’t claimed he will be considered a relinquishment and will be available for adoption through Border Tails Rescue.

DON’T TOUCH MY STUFF!
RESOURCE GUARDING OR POSSESSIVE AGGRESSION
We all guard our resources, it’s a natural reaction to a threat of something we value being taken away. It’s essential for survival and dogs and other animals would not survive in the wild if they didn’t guard their resources.

We also don’t get to decide what’s valuable and what’s not – different things have different values to different dogs.

Food is usually the most common, but toys, furniture, different items, places, or even a certain person are all things that may be seen as a valuable resource.

A dog turning their head away, freezing, a hard stare, whale eye, moving away, growling or snapping may quickly escalate into a serious bite in an attempt to protect that valuable possession.

Punishing or forcing a dog to give something up is probably one of the worst things to do. Resource guarding is rooted in the emotion of fear – the fear of that resource being taken away. Punishment and force further increase that fear, which only increases and reinforces the need to protect that resource.

When a dog is guarding food or an object, we can change the negative emotion of that fear into a positive one by swopping or trading something that has a similar or higher value than what the dog has. This is one of the most effective ways to address resource guarding of objects as it works at the root cause of the behaviour by changing the emotional response.

A dog resource guarding a person is more complicated to address. The individual family dynamics, attachment styles, situation, environment, history and breed tendencies all have to be looked at and assessed before working on modification.

Resource guarding can usually be prevented, addressed and managed by starting early, understanding why dogs feel the need to resort to this behaviour and doing what we can to prevent it from happening in the first place.
