food aggression

I have two smaller breed dogs, one named Bridgett and the other Casper. Casper is a Bichon Frise of 7 years while Bridgett is a mutt, (although suspected of Maltese, Shih Tzu, and Bichon Frise origins) of 6 years. Casper is a very submissive dog who has no aggression whatsoever, but Bridgett has...

I am so sorry this is going to be long but I really really appreciate any and all help I can get. I have a 2 year old male German Shepherd named tucker. He is pretty well behaved and submissive. He always backs down towards other dogs and cries easily. We have always called him are little wimpy...

I have a 2.5 yr old 50 lb Chow/Shepard rescue (Ronin) & a 1.5 yr old 75 lb Lab/Coonhound mix (Grimm) who have been together for over a year now. Recently, Ronin has become VERY food aggressive towards Grimm. We started having to feed them separately due to fights breaking out, but even after...

ETA: Oh my goodness, I'm sorry this is so long! I don't know how to make it shorter without leaving out relevant information. Clifford's behavioral problems are beginning to strain my sanity and my marriage. Before it comes into question, I want to say that I am committed to this dog and...

It won't let me post in the dog training forum yet so I'll just ask here. My dog is deaf. And we know a little sign language. With me alone he is a great guy. But honestly guys, living with a roommate now... This is a nightmare. He won't let me shower alone, he has to be there with me. He...

Hi, I have a 6 month old puppy. I was out of town for 10 days and her dog walker stayed at my house with her. I came back two days ago, and since I've returned she's been displaying very scary food aggression. She now growls at me when she is eating if I walk near her, and she growled at me and...

I'm watching my parents' dog, Cooper, today and I've always known him to have food aggression issues...both around other dogs and with people. He will growl and show his teeth if he's eating from his bowl or has a bone or special treat. He's never actually bitten a person, but he has gone after...

Hello! I have a year and a half-ish Lab/Basset Hound mix that has an issue when greeting strangers. He will come up to strangers as you would expect any dog would, sniffing them, sometimes friendly jumping up on them (trying to work on not jumping on things, but he really really likes to jump...

We adopted Dixie, a 1 - 2 year old beagle smooth coat collie mix, she is a sweetheart. We adopted her to play with our Newfoundland pup Boris (5 1/2 months), yet we wanted a dog who is calm around my 13 1/2 year old Collie mix. So far everything has worked out great, her and Boris romp and play...

Hi! I'm hoping to get a little advice to solve a food aggression problem. Here is precisely what is happening: I adopted a black lab/ blue heeler back in september. Her name is Piper and she's about a year old. She can be quite the puppy still, bouncy and playful, but for the most part...

(New to the forums- it's been a great resource so far!) My 7 year old hound dog has been high-strung most of his life. He often chooses goodies to 'guard', and is very aggressive when another family member (human or feline) comes near. We've solved this problem when it comes to...

I have an Aussie/BC mix who when she was a puppy my older dog would steal her food. When she got bigger she took him on to protect her food. I had to put him down for health reasons and got a new puppy. She loves the puppy, but even right after she gets any food, she growls at him and is...

Hi...I have come to this site in hopes of getting some help with my families' male chessie who is 17 months old. His name is Cane...and weighs about 110 pounds! We got him when he was 8 weeks old and he has adapted very well with our family. We have 2 sons- one is 5 and the other 2. He has never...

My dog is a wolf mix. His mother was an arctic wolf/husky and his father was a pure timberwolf. He's just turned 2 and hes around 60lbs. Lately he has been showing me ALOT of aggression towards his food. Basically we have a glass sliding door and I make him sit and wait and if he does...

I have a 6months old Lab/Chow Mix and eveything was going fine with her until she starved for 2 days, and I was just giving her treats because the car wasnt working and it was pouring cats and dogs. When everything was back to normal, I placed her in her crate to stay put because I was gonna do...

I have a problem with the 1 year old puppy I got from the SPCA. It started when my sister returned her dog to us because she could no longer care for her. The puppy started to eat her food in like 30 seconds. 90% of the time she would vomit up in less than an hour. I've tried separating the...
