The Gentle Take Back
Transforming Your Dog's Behaviour Through Compassionate Training, helping you understand why dogs steal things and hide with them.
Course Summary
It’s easy to think that resource guarding only shows up as growling or snapping. But sometimes, it’s much more subtle. Maybe your dog keeps their distance with a favorite toy. Maybe they duck under the table when they grab something they shouldn’t have. This course helps you notice all those little signs you might have missed.
Dogs speak in so many ways! 🐾 Know the “Why” Ever wonder why your dog guards stuff? You’re not alone. This course talks about the reasons—fear, past experiences, even confusion. Once you know why, everything starts to make more sense. You get more clarity and less worry.
Grow Your Confidence Feeling nervous when your dog starts guarding? You’re not the only one! This course gives you a clear plan, step by step. No more guessing or second-guessing. You’ll feel ready and steady, no matter what’s in your dog’s mouth.
Make Life Easier Tired of playing chase around the house? Wish you could get through the day without a stand-off for the remote, the sock, or the special chew? This course gives you tools that fit real life. You’ll find ways to break the cycle and trade games of chase for moments of calm.
Keep Everyone Safe Resource guarding can be scary. Safety matters. The course shares safe ways to help your dog, from calm training to knowing when to call a pro. You don’t have to take risks or guess if things might go wrong. Relief, right?
Build a Stronger Bond Every dog wants to feel safe. You want to trust each other. When you understand what your dog feels and how to respond, you both win. Training together brings more trust and more fun. That’s what everyone wants!
Support When You Need It Not every case is simple. Some dogs need extra help. This course shows you when it’s time to bring in a trainer or behaviourist. You get peace of mind knowing where to turn.
