Overcoming Food Agression

Post by CarolineLovesDogs »

A great, easy to understand article I found on easing your dog out of food agression using positive reinforcement techniques:

Or if you have Victoria Stilwell's books and DVD's- those are obviously an even better resource! :D
Another tip I have used to deal with food agression is having a dog sit or lay and stay before eating. Though this may seem kind of mean, it's not- it helps your dog learn patience gently and without force. :D Just remember, avoid dominanace based methods that hurt your dog; they aren't fair or humane and don't work as well or at all and can even worsen the problem!
Take care!
