The behavior of pets guarding their food is very dangerous to their owners. If the owner is nearby while eating, the dog will make threatening sounds or may act aggressively. This situation, to put it bluntly, is due to the lack of a definite status relationship between the dog and its owner.

Cause:

1. Lack of trust in the master;

2. Have an innate or acquired higher group status.

Solution:

1. First, start by confirming the status of the owner

Before giving your dog food, do some simple obedience training, such as asking your dog to sit up or shake hands. If it doesn't do well, you can temporarily withhold food and wait until it is ready before giving it food. award. This is to let the dog understand that food is given by the owner.

2. When starting the real training, insist on grabbing food with your hands and feeding it to the dog, so that the dog understands that the food comes from the owner's reward. As the dog begins to understand that the owner's hands bring food rather than take it away, we begin to inject some control.

3. Put a leash on the dog, let it do some obedience commands, and then feed the dog with hands first. When it is finished, the owner puts down the food and lets the dog eat by itself. When the dog shows signs of food protection, After the action, the owner immediately pulled the dog away with a leash so that he could no longer eat food. Then ask the dog to sit down and give it food, and repeat the training several times for several days. This will teach the dog that if it disrespects its owner, it will lose the food immediately. And if he obeys his master, he will get food.

Dogs are born to protect food, but with repeated training, when faced with a powerful owner, they will definitely restrain their possessive consciousness and obey the status consciousness of a group.
