Thank you, this is what I have done for over 35 years when I am rehabbing an orphaned wildlife baby. It makes them aware that I am "Mom" temporarily and they need to know that in order to be rehabbed.
Hand feeding is something that can help a dog get over food aggression. He only gets food when he is calm, and then, you slowly begin to put a few pieces of kibble in his dish.It teaches him that you, or anyone can reach into his dish at any time. It is a slow process. It is extremely important. My Dad, (God rest his soul) taught our dog that from the time he was a puppy, and I have taught my dogs that over the years, and it has paid off. I have 2 year old, twin grandsons, and even at the crawling stage, they could reach into my girls dishes, as they were eating and my girls would stop, and wait patiently for someone to remove the babies.
