But now you can add eating snacks on the couch when he's there into that category too
I realize that it's not easy when a dog shows this type of behavior
I had a Lhasa when I was young as a family dog that was food aggressive and it turned out that later we couldn't play with him when he had food or a bone
we couldn't brush him
or bathe him .... we had to have professionals do it
If you work with him enough until ghe will let you take his bone away from him then you can trust him again |
Yep, I certainly will add that to the list.
He's truly so good and well behaved and trained. I do know he has
guarding and food issues from the past. I guess they just linger
beneath the surfice never really going away. I let my guard down
and he knew that taking advantage of the situation.
Little shi$ that he is.
As far as the bone, we trained for sometime for him to give it to me,
he acutally brings it to me daily. Only when it's stuffed with cheese
or peanut butter will he keep it for himself. He will bring it to me
if I"m sitting on the floor and do a dance in front of me with ears back
and tail tucked under. He tries but is not ready to really share it.
I'm no fool, I know the difference. I just keep encourging him.
Guarding is breed in them, it has to be. Nothing has ever happened
to him that would make him this way. Believe me, he has come
along way. We have trained each other well.
