Dog guarding food is a problem that many owners cannot solve. The dog first guards food, then guards toys, and finally guards everything it likes, or starts to bite you as soon as you get close. This behavior of dogs needs to be controlled as soon as possible, otherwise it will gradually worsen and become an uncontrollable danger.

Dogs are very smart little guys who will test their owners' bottom line at any time. It is because many dog ​​owners have this idea that dogs become increasingly difficult to discipline. Because it knows this bottom line, it can cross it, and even go further. The owner has not shown any behavior, and this behavior is allowed.

Therefore, once we find signs that the dog needs to protect its food, we must pay attention to it and cannot just ignore it.

Training methods

We need to prepare:

✔️A food bowl

✔️Some dog food

✔️A leash.

When we started feeding, we held the dog’s leash in one hand and the dog food in the other. First take some food with your hand for the dog to eat, adapt it to your hand, and gradually put it into his food bowl. Once he bites you when he bites you, use the other hand to lift it up with the leash. Interrupt your dog's behavior.

This action is similar to the action of a mother dog holding the back of her puppy's neck. After being mentioned many times, the dog will gradually learn that biting while guarding the food will not get food. How long it is repeated, the dog will gradually get rid of this bad habit.

If your dog's food guarding situation is serious, you can wear protective gear during training to protect yourself.
