Re: Turkey drumstick

Resource guarding is normal, read this book

Mine! A Guide to REsource Guarding in Dogs.

It is simple to prevent and cure.

I can take anything off my dogs mid munch, I rarely do, but I maintain the behaviours that I trained in when puppies.

Charlie can even crunch the whole thing up and get all the marrow stuff out, she's got very strong teeth and jaws despite being about 3kg


i had never thought of taking some meat off first.. often seen the turkey drumsticks reduced and left them as they are far too big for maddie.
thank you so much for this post

is there a way to stop this or are we just to be aware we will have to hold high value bones etc..
I'm not sure what you mean by high-value bone.
Personally, I hold some of Terence's bones, but he never growls. Can your dog manage the bone by himself or does he need you to hold it? That might answer your question.
