In this episode, Josh Taylor (Canine Education) teams up with Dr. KJ Goldenberg to unravel the real reasons behind canine anxiety, aggression, and resource guarding. They dive into how medical issues, missed warning signs, and misconceptions about dominance contribute to behavioural problems.

Some key factors they discussed:

Creating a Stress-Free Environment

Understanding Resource Guarding & Medication’s Role

Misconceptions About Dog Behavior

Why Many Owners Struggle With Dog Training

The Medical Side of Behavioral Issues

Similarities Between Parenting and Dog Training

A Tragic Case Study: When Medical Issues Are Missed

Training + Medical Care = Better Outcomes

Behavioural issues often have a medical root—a vet check-up should always accompany training.

Medication is not a "quick fix" but a tool to make training more effective.

Owners need to respect a dog's communication (e.g., growling is not "disrespect" but a warning signal that should be acknowledged).

Dogs are not robots—they have emotions, physical sensations, and stressors that influence behavior.
