Help!! Food Aggression Ive noticed Bandit being very aggressive with food, more so when im giving him the wet foor than dry but it still there, i cant even touch him while he eating. Any suggestions will help. THANKS! |
hmm.. sorry i don't know much about food aggression but i'd probably ask a trainer for help... i know it can be a complicated problem.. but maybe there is a trainer on here who can help.. sorry :) |
Actually, guarding food is extremely common in dogs - it's a matter of survival in the wild, after all. The nice guy doesn't get to eat. The good news is that it's treatable. Here is an excellent article that should help you (the whole website is excellent): http://www.clickersolutions.com/arti...ctguarding.htm Good luck and let us know how it goes! |
How old is Bandit? If he's still young get him used to having you near his food by placing small amounts from your hand on the floor for him to eat. when he accepts that. Use his bowl and place it in the bowl and remove it until his accepts that. Then he'll know that the food isn't going away. Good luck |
