Welcoming a rescue dog into your home is a beautiful act of compassion, but what happens when that sweet new pup starts growling over toys or guarding their food bowl like it’s treasure?
In this week’s episode of Paws and Pawsitivity, certified dog trainer and behaviour consultant Jamie Watkinson-Harvey unpacks why some rescue dogs struggle to share and how their past may be shaping their behaviour. From understanding the emotional roots of resource guarding to creating a home environment that supports trust and safety, Jamie offers real-world advice that’s kind, practical, and totally doable, even with kids and other pets in the mix.
Whether your dog is new to your family or you’re facing challenges weeks down the line, this episode will help you feel reassured and empowered. Tune in for expert insights, heartfelt encouragement, and a gentle reminder that progress takes time, and that’s okay. 💛🐶
