Hey YT family!
My yorkie (who turns 6 tomorrow!) has been showing A LOT of treat aggression. He snarls, snaps and--if he can get you-- bites HARD if he has a treat (or something he shouldn't have like yummy scraps out of the trash or
dirty laundry
). I know this isn't a healthy behavior and we used to just eliminate ALL treats in the house, but with a new lab puppy we are trying to keep chew treats (rawhides, pigs ears , bully sticks, etc) out to keep the puppy from getting destructive.
Is there any way to help stop food/treat aggression? Today, even after I removed the treat Oliver was still snarling at me and baring his teeth.
It makes me sad, but also mad at myself because I feel like I did something wrong to make him this way.
