What is one training technique that could help prevent your puppy from resource
guarding? Give an example of how to do the technique. - Correct Answer The "drop"
technique is a great way to help prevent your puppy from resource guarding.
Step 1: Give the dog a toy/bone. Make sure they are invested in the toy/bone.
Step 2: Present treats to your puppy to get them to drop the treat/bone. Give treats
when they successfully drop the toy/bone.
Step 3: When your puppy seems to get the hang of steps 1 and 2 move on to step 4.
Step 4: Repeat step 1, but this time you want to use the command "drop" first and then
present the treat to your dog. When your dog drops the toy/bone successfully give the
treat.
Step 5: Repeat steps 1 and 4 until the puppy learns the new command.
Step 6: When you have practiced enough, only use the command drop when the puppy
has the toy/bone. When they drop the toy/bone give the treat. It is important that you do
not present the treat because at this step you want to see if the dog is learning the
command and not just dropping because it sees a treat.
The dog might not learn the new command on the first day, so being consistent is
important.
