Food Aggression

Allright mate, further to what the others have said, don't feed it in the cage as territorial issues can compound the original problems. Mate had the same problem with a dog and had a nightmare of a job. Take your time with him and all the best..

That's what I was thinking how would you like it going to a restaurant ordering your food then the waiter picking up your T Bone and teasing you with it give the dog his f++king food and let him eat it

It's a dog not a human lol I pay for the food and I'm the boss if I want to pick up the bowl I can. Take the advice of skycat and desert and rebuild the bond and trust with the dog. It's an issue that can be sorted and if was me I'd probably feel guilty and have to fix it. Hope the owner gets educated on his wrong doings. Best of luck with it.

You really can tell with a lot of these replies, the people that have been around dogs all there lifes, and the stupid c####s, or had dogs five minutes.

What's the other issue the pup has,

The biggest problems with threads like this is how we interpret growling,

Some people see fear and some dominance

Part and parcel of responsible dog ownership,especially if kids share the same household,teaching a mutt to accept a little intrusion into its daily activities also teaches the same youngster to accept other intrusions it may encounter in the field,if you don,t know or understand BASIC dog training and responsible ownership then?.

Oh right i always kennel them,never have i taken or put my hand into a dogs dish when feeding,no dont know basic just worked in greyhound kennels with 37 dogs and 8 pups,and raced all over on the flapping circuit, yeah never owned a dog,so first step should be take the bowl away while its eating, feed it by hand is that a piece of meat or a biscuit at a time,

Dogs are kenneled outside not in a cage they are not canaries

Get him outside then mate and scruff and pin him when he growls show him who boss. Try feeding him out your hand a bit build his trust again

Scruff and Pin a nervous dog that's been abused...

If you learn the mutt to accept a little intrusion into its daily habits i.e.a little interference in its dining activities,it may then better respond to you in a more favourable way when you may wish to take a bunny from its mouth,worm it,inspect its teeth etc.,it will also better accept the intrusion a few inquisitive kids may push it to etc.,etc.,etc.

Don't think it matters why he wants to mess with the food bowl. The fact is the dog should happy with humans around it's food. And this one isn't.

My 4 year old girl feeds my lurcher and makes her sit and wait before eating on command. So I would it's pretty basic yes.
