Exploring understanding and management in a shelter context.
Resource guarding can present in a range of ways and can be influenced by an individual dog’s experiences, environment and emotional state. This session explores resource guarding behaviour in the context of shelter care, supporting a deeper understanding of why it may occur and how it can be approached safely and thoughtfully.
This Q&A session brings together a panel of Battersea behaviour experts to discuss recognising resource guarding behaviours, understanding contributing factors and considering management approaches in a shelter environment.
The session supports shared learning and reflection, while recognising that responses will vary depending on individual dogs, organisational policies and available resources.
