How to stop the bad habit of dog food care?

dogs What to do with food protection? Dog food protection is a bad behavior. If the dog guards food from a young age, not only is the previous feeding refusal training difficult to learn; at the same time, it will develop into guarding toys, territory, etc. in the future. At that time, as a dog owner, you will have a headache~ In this article, Let me introduce to you the training method to stop dog food protection:

1. At the beginning, the dog will be very disgusted with the food you approach it, and even threaten the owner with sound. So at the beginning, you can use your hands first, put a little food in front of it and put it not far from your hand, and then gradually feed it directly by hand. This will gradually let the dog understand that you are not a threat to his food, but a giver, so that he will let his guard down on you.

2. Second, you can often let go of feeding. Open the palm of your hand and feed the dog a tasty treat on the palm of your hand. 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.

3. Then, you need to get the dog accustomed to having someone around when feeding. 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.

4. Don't be aggressive in 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).

5. Once the dog is used to eating, there is no threat when someone is around and petted. 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.

Notes: It takes a little patience to train a dog to not protect food, don't grab its things at the beginning, it will be more dangerous to do so. Especially when taking away the rice bowl, pay attention to the dog's demeanor. If the dog shows signs of aggression, stop taking the rice bowl.
