The Well Behaved Dog by Paul Barish, Cbcc-Ka

More dogs escape and/or get lost on July 4 than any other day. Be careful!

Do not give cold water to a dog that is overheated - just regular tap water temp or warmer. It can kill them.

Please reach out for help if your dog is Resource Guarding. The "old school" concepts of "showing them who's the boss" can be counter-productive and dangerous.

Resource guarding is a dog's instinct to protect valuable items like food, toys, or space, often leading to aggressive behaviors such as barking, biting, growling, and lunging. 🐾

Signs to watch for:
Stiffening over an item
Hard stare
"Whale eye" (whites of their eyes showing)
Lip lifting
Low growl
Baring teeth
Snapping
Resource guarding can be caused by fear, anxiety, frustration, territoriality, or early experiences with valuable items and other dogs.

How to manage it:
Provide enough high-quality food, toys, and a comfy space.
Use positive reinforcement—teach your dog to trade items for treats.
Be patient and consistent with training.

With the right approach, your dog can learn to feel safe and secure around their resources! 🐶For all things behavior modification Eleventh Hour relies on the expertise of The Well Behaved Dog by Paul Barish, Cbcc-Ka https://buff.ly/40P6EyR

If your dog displays any aggression, muzzle conditioning is highly recommended. Aside from the obvious, it should lower your stress and as a result, your dogs. Then, you can better work on modifying the behavior. Only use a basket muzzle. Video on my website.

Contrary to what many people are told, putting your hand in your dog's bowl is NOT a good way to prevent/get rid of food aggression!

Please supervise children when with their dogs. Some things may look cute, but good way to get the child bitten - especially in the face.

If you have a puppy, take a look. If you know someone with a puppy, share this.

Don't be afraid or embarrassed to ask your visitors to help with training. If they are your friends, they should understand. Your dog is only a puppy once and it's much easier to prevent undesirable behaviors than to undo bad habits.

A little humor and some truth. Your Timing and Tone are crucial with behavioral work. Most pet owners are late to give feedback and don't use the proper tone. One of my sayings is There is No Anger in Dog Training! www.thewellbehaveddog.com
