The one thing I've always read for food posession is to drop treats in the bowl when you walk by. Or to toss them to her. She then learns that people entering her space when she is eating is a good thing.
The funny thing for me is that while Loki is sometimes object posessive he is not protective of his food bowl. When he was a pup I'd sit next to him and just stick my hand in the bowl and then feed him a piece or two, while he was eating. I bet you can't get that close, though. Try chicken or high-value treats and slowly get closer? Have men try this too. She will begin to think that all men entering the kitchen (or wherever) are there to give her yummy food. |
