Yes, this can become a very serious problem. I went threw it with Buddy, however,'
I only have one dog so it was easy to get it under control. All I can suggest to you
is take charge of the food. It belongs to you and not the dogs. Do you free feed?If so I would correct this behavior each time he growls and remove the food for a time telling him no growling. Then when you put it down make him sit and put your own scent on it mixing it with you hands. Telling him the food is yours and not his. If not make him sit before each feeding, mix the food with you hands to put your sent on it and do not let him touch it until you release him then take the bowl up 10 mins after he has eaten giving him time to go back if he's not finished.
This will take a couple of days for him to understand. If this does not work I
would stop free feeding and feed all at the sametime. If he still continues to do this
I would feed him in another room. This can become a serious problem but
I think you can get it under control if it just started by taking control of the food. |
