Dogs must be properly guided and trained to protect their food and not hit.

Hitting and scolding a dog may stop the dog's current food-protecting behavior, but it will also make it easier for the dog to develop an oppositional and rebellious mentality.
To help your dog adapt to having someone around when eating, I recommend the following simple methods, which will have good results as long as they are used properly.
1. Feeding with hands instead of food bowls: We often hold dog food, snacks, and bones with our hands, and let the dogs sit down and eat directly from our hands. Help her establish an impression - "the master's hand can bring delicious food".

2. Exchange with the dog: When the dog eats, exchange it with the food she likes more. Doing this will eliminate the vigilance she may feel when eating is interrupted.

3. Gradually add complementary foods: While the dog is eating, we add her favorite complementary foods little by little. Try petting her and saying some words of encouragement and praise as you add. It made her feel that "it is a wonderful thing to have the owner by your side when eating, and having more delicious food makes your body feel more comfortable."

4. Control through the traction rope chain: On the premise that we know that the dog has food-protecting behavior, put the traction rope on the dog before feeding. Give the dog some stimulation (referring to some actions that usually cause the dog to protect its food - such as stroking the back), control the dog through the traction rope as soon as the dog reacts, and let the dog calm down. Then comfort, pat and praise, and give the order to allow the dog to eat.

Dogs should be trained to protect their food from an early age

From 2 to 4 months old, dogs still have deciduous incisors and are not very aggressive towards humans, and their brains also begin to remember.
I began to reflect on why this situation occurred and worked hard to find a solution

Precautions for dog food guarding training

1. After the dog shows food guarding behavior, do not If you shrink back because your dog is fierce, don't let your dog feel that "as long as I'm fierce, no one will bother me eating." Never let our dogs dominate us in anything.

2. After discovering that the dog has food-protecting behavior, you must correct it as soon as possible. If you cannot effectively stop it at the time, at least make preparations in advance to control the dog before eating next time. .

3. After the dog’s food-protecting behavior is corrected, the methods we adopt must gradually weaken. Until we can be around the dog without any means and the dog will not show food-protecting behavior. This is to avoid other situations in the dog (such as picky eating problems).

4. After correction, we have to take time out occasionallyAccompany your dog when she eats (to help her consolidate her memory), but do not accompany your dog every meal (to prevent your dog from developing the habit of not eating without someone to accompany you).
