| Food Aggression I noticed tonight during our agility session that my dog has food aggression. Another dog tried to get his treat when we were sitting and waiting for our turn. He got to growling and barking and tried to run after him. What causes this and why do dogs do this~? Thinking about it when the neighbor dogs come over to visit, one got into his food bowl and started eating. He had a bit fit and about attacked the Schuazer (sp). Why~? Would this happen if I got another dog~? |

| I would say yes it would. He's only guarding what he believes to be his. It's a dog thing. You stated your in agility class, ask a trainer how to help. I corrected food aggression towards myself and my dog, however, he never eat's around other dog's so I can't help you. He's only acting normal for a dog but it can be corrected I'm sure. Good luck, |
