Joe67 239 Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 gave the pup some rabbit legs to eat out in back garden, she had nearly finished one and i went over to move them because i needed to sweep up at that part.. then i seen a side to pup i havnt yet, if i hadnt moved away quick enough i reckon id be atleast less one finger, thats no exaduration, i moved my foot in to knock stuff out way and to see how she would react, again she went f*****g crazy.. i know this is probaly instinct is this something you all deal with alot, or you know not to bother them when eating lol Quote Link to post

paulus 26 Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 it needs putting in its place immediately it does it, then make it sit and wait before allowing it to continue, keep taking the food off it and making it wait whilst it eats, any funny business on its behalf then check it instantly and make it sit and wait again.

nomoon 542 Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 it needs putting in its place immediately it does it, then make it sit and wait before allowing it to continue, keep taking the food off it and making it wait whilst it eats, any funny business on its behalf then check it instantly and make it sit and wait again. spot on,i take food and bones away when there pups,as paulus says if not then its an acident waiting to happen,atb mc Quote Link to post
B.P.R 2,798 Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 Joe... thats not good at all... You should have been schooling her from the day you got her... giving her food... putting your hand in the bowl and any agression whatsoever... sorted it out there and then at the young age... Now your pups a lot bigger...more powerful...and it will be a lot harder than it would have been.... Its a serious danger having a food aggressive dog...and when you have kids....its a liability... I suppose its the result of being green when it comes to dogs... but id sort that out NOW ... 3 Quote Link to post
Joe67 239 Posted January 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 she has only done it with those rabbit legs, ive not long gave her some raw beef to see if she would do it and she didnt bother... cant get everything right lol edit:i give her food by hand alot, my hands are in the bowl alot, never had any trouble with complete, raw beef etc, she wasnt eating from bowl this time(rabbit legs) Quote Link to post
s.e.s.k.u 1,893 Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 Iv always introduced my pups to bones by letting them gnaw the bone whilst I hold it. ..worth a try if you dare lol? Quote Link to post
neems 2,406 Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 I had a pup exactly the same,also used to try and shag your leg while attacking you sometimes,seemed to just rage and took about 10 mins to calm down. ended up a lovely dog when an adult,just pure evil as a pup lol.
