Food aggression

[mackyjayg]

Hi,
I have an 8 month old pug who is wonderful in every way but one she is very aggressive with her food to all the other dogs in the house. I have had her from a pup and she has not had to fight for food they all get fed at the same time and they get the same amount but she just attacks the two older dogs even if they are nowhere nearer please does anyone have any suggestions because i have never had this problem before. i don't want to give up on her because i have really bonded with her but am getting to the end of my tether. I think she needs dog borstal.


Please someone help me!!!!!

Dog borstal?

Have you sought advice from a well respected behaviour specialist/trainer? I suggest this nas you mention you are near the end of the line. If things are that bad I think you'd need one to one assistance?

Possibley dog bostal is the first step and take it from there!!!

This sounds like a leadership thing, the dog is thinking it is the leader and therefore warning them to wait till he has finished his food and then they can go to there's, I hope the trainer can help you.
