If your normally sweet and loving dog turns into a snarling hound from hell when you try to take something away from them, they are engaging in a behavior called “resource guarding.” This article examines the warning signs of resource guarding in dogs, situations that provoke the behavior, and what to do about it using positive training methods.
Doodle dogs are fast becoming the most popular dog breed in America because of their friendly nature and hypo-allergenic and low-shedding coats. There are many kinds of Doodle dog breeds of various sizes depending on the Poodle variant with which they are mixed, however the most popular are the Goldendoodle, the Labradoodle, and the Double Doodle.

All of our sessions with Lexi have been online, which we were initially skeptical about. Turns out, they were amazing! It's nice to train from home where our dog is comfortable and we can control the environment.

“Had a really great online intro session with Alexandra at Dog Savvy, helping us with our 1-year-old Boxer/Pit mix.. Highly recommend Dog Savvy to anyone looking for a dog trainer!

I really can’t recommend Alexandra enough. At our first session, my dog wouldn’t come out of hiding to even see her, but she brought lots of patience, understanding (and treats). He’s a very different dog now thanks in large part to Dog Savvy.
