Those who keep dogs know that dogs have the nature of protecting their food, so many people dare not approach easily when dogs eat food, especially strangers. , So how can we make the dog adapt to someone beside him while eating without biting? Parents should also have enough patience so that they can train better.
Training method
1. Always let go and feed. Open the palm of your hand and feed it to the dog with tasty food, which can be a snack. This feeding method is very safe, the dog will lick and will not bite. After the dog gets used to it, you can try to hold the food bowl in your hand and feed it to your puppy.
2. Let the dog get used to being around when eating. When you feed it, put your hand on it first. Pour food into its bowl while petting it. Don't stop petting while it's eating. Be gentle and slow, and be able to talk to him so he can trust you not to steal his food. Don't be rash with petting, it depends on the degree of dog acceptance. You can start by stroking its back, and then gradually move toward the head when it doesn't object (this process can sometimes take days to complete).
3. After being used to being around and touching while eating, that is, no threat. Start trying to carry the food bowl away. During the whole process of eating, if you find signs of threat, such as starting to wrinkle your nose, make a whimper, squinting at people, etc., shout loudly and take away the food. When it's quiet, praise it, pet it and say, Very good. Give it to the food bowl. Repeat this over and over until it doesn't resist.
