You need to control the food, not her. It's way easier to control her food aggression if you control the food, and you can't do that it it sits there all the time.
If it were me, I would stop the free feeding and go to scheduled meals. Make them sit/lay down (whatever, make them do something to "work" for their food) before giving them their bowls.
If she get growly/snappy when she has the food, take it away. She should learn that it's your food and that you're just letting her eat it.
If they don't finish eating it, take it away. Don't let it sit out.
Make them work for treats too. They have to sit/lay down/shake/whatever before getting it.
Scheduled meals will help with the pooping issue too. If she eats at the same time every day, she'll likely need to poop at the same time. If you know about what time she needs to poop, you can watch for it more closely and get her outside before she goes in the house. |
