Are You Causing Your Puppy To Food Guard?

We often come across dogs who guard their food and become aggressive when people go next to them while they are eating. While there are ways to train this behaviour out of your dog, it is much easier to prevent it if you are raising a puppy!


Most people make the mistake of taking food away from their puppy while they are eating.

They do this because they think they are teaching their puppy to allow people to touch their food bowl….but what they are actually doing is giving the puppy a reason to guard its food!


Let’s face it, no one wants someone to take their meal away while they are halfway through it...dogs are no different.


Instead of focusing on ‘avoiding food aggression’ you should focus on good manners. Teach your puppy/dog to be patient when you are making their food. Show them that being calm and waiting will get them their food quicker!
