Having a dog that exhibits resource-guarding behaviour can be challenging and concerning for any pet owner. Resource guarding, where a dog displays aggressive or possessive behaviour over items such as food, toys, or even space, can create tension and potentially lead to conflicts in your household.

This statistic highlights the prevalence of this behaviour and emphasises the importance of understanding and addressing it effectively.
