Dogs growl, snarl, lunge and sometimes bite for a lot of different reasons. Often it's to escape something unpleasant or scary. Sometimes, though, it's not about escaping at all. It's about the dog keeping hold of a prized object, sleeping space or food. The broad term for that cluster of behavior is called resource guarding.

Teaching Your Dog to 'Drop'

Big horses and miniature horses alike have to learn to recognize cues in many different places. This video is a fun look at some physical and verbal cues in play. McKee is the miniature horse; Buckwheat is the full sized horse.

This 14-minute video details in no uncertain terms that the use of fear and pain in dog training is unethical and unnecessary. Watch as experts and dog owners agree that dog's need training and we humans are by and large the main influence on dog behavior. When humans make safe, kind consistent choices dogs learn and we reduce stress for everyone. In order to have sound dogs we need sound and sane training practices.
