First let me say I know where your coming from.
Buddy is a prue love, however, he bit me 2mos ago for the first time
and I was in total shock! He will be 3 next week. After stopping the blood, he got me good,
I reasessed what happened. It was not his fault but mine.
I had just finished eating in the family room where he knows to leave
me alone at that time. After finishing I call him and he comes running
and jumps on top of me. I had a piece of bread on the table next to me he spotted it and in a instant he lunged for it. It was in his mouth and I grabbed
him by the scuff of his neck to get it out. He growled and bit me on the forearm! I should have never let that piece of bread be within his reach.
He only reacted like any dog would. Are they ever full when there is food around? Never! When I grabbed him to remove the food I threatened him by wanting to take it away and he reacted. After it was over he was all over me kissing me his way of realizing he did wrong. I will never call him him the room again until the food sorce is removed. I set him up just like you have done leaving the trash in his reach. Buddy is obiedient, has good manners, is fully trained loving and is not food aggressive. We have worked on that from day one. He sits and looks at me before getting the ok to eat his food daily.
You pup needs training and so do you just like I did. Please give him another chance and order the Dog Whisperer, I did and learned so much. These little ones are so smart. We need to take the time to think like they do and be the alpha at all times. Because they are little we tend to baby them and forget to remember they are dogs with natural instints. Our fault not theirs.
Good luck.
Carol & Buddy
