@PetGuild 🙌🙌 we were originally told our boy's reactive behaviours were frustration related and couldn't work out why we weren't making progress. Fast forward with lots of reading and videos, we identified that it was actually human resource guarding. We rarely have reactions now 🤞

[Dog Science Says @dogsciencesays]

Dogs who were given oxytocin before the opportunity to rescue their owner, did so less often than dogs who were given a saline control.

Dogs who ingest inedible objects are more likely to display problem behaviours such as hyperactivity, unhealthy attachments, impulsivity and separation anxiety.

It's #FunFactFriday! Ever thought your dog was acting jealous?🤔💚A new study reported 'jealous behaviours' from dogs when an owner interacted with a fake dog, even when they were out of sight! This suggests that dogs can imagine jealousy-inducing social interactions 😯🐶

If you work with animals, in any AAI context, including education, visitations etc. please help us with this study. This will help us develop future targeted resources to help the community further.

@puptalk101 Our boy is getting better, although he's not one that enjoys attention so the limited interaction has given him time to build his confidence!
