It is a bad behavior for dogs to protect their food. If this behavior is not corrected during puppyhood, it will develop into protecting toys, protecting territory, etc., and eventually lead to attacks on humans, which is very dangerous. Many people advocate using "beating" to break dogs' bad habits of guarding their food. I strongly disagree with this. Because it is an instinct for dogs to protect food and is innate. Hitting it when it is protecting food will be counterproductive and will only arouse its desire to protect food. In the wild, animals fight for a little food at the cost of their lives. Food is also very precious to dogs and something they need to defend. Therefore, it takes a little patience to train a dog not to protect its food. Don’t grab its things from the beginning, as this will be more dangerous.

​Training method:

1. Always put it on your hands for feeding. Open your palms, put delicious food, or snacks, on your palms and feed it to the dog. This feeding method is very safe, the dog will lick the food and will not bite the hand. After your dog gets used to it, you can tentatively hold the food bowl in your hand and feed it to your puppy.

2. Let the dog adapt to having someone around when eating. When you feed it, put your hands on it first. While petting it, pour food into its food bowl. Don't stop petting it while it's eating. The movements should be gentle and slow, and you can talk to it, so that it trusts that you will not steal its food. Don't rush into petting, and take your time depending on how well the dog accepts it. You can start by stroking the back half of its body, and then gradually move to the head when it does not object (this process sometimes takes several days to complete).

3. Adapt to having someone around and touching you when eating, that is, not making threats. Start trying to take away the food bowl. During the whole meal, if you find that it shows signs of threat, such as starting to wrinkle its nose, making a purring sound, looking at people sideways, etc., scold it loudly and take away the food. When it calms down, praise it, pet it and say, "Very good." Then give it a food bowl. Keep doing this until it stops resisting.
