Pets protect their food with high risk to their owners. Dogs will make threatening noises or be aggressive when their owners are around while eating. This situation, to put it bluntly, is due to the lack of a definite status relationship between the dog and the owner.

Reasons:

1. Lack of trust in the owner;

2. Congenital or acquired high group status.

Solution:

1. First, start with confirming the status of the owner

Before giving the dog food, do some simple obedience training, such as letting The dog sits, or shakes hands. If it does not do well, you can temporarily stop giving him food, and then reward him with food when it is done. This is to let the dog understand that the food is given by the owner.

2. When starting the real training, insist on grabbing food with your hands and feeding it to the dog, so that the dog understands that the food comes from the owner's reward. Once the dog began to understand that the owner's hand was bringing food rather than taking it, we started injecting some controls.

3. Bring a leash to the dog, let him do some obedience commands, and then feed the dog with his hands first. When he is done, the owner puts down the food and lets the dog eat by himself. After the dog shows the behavior of protecting food, the owner immediately uses the leash to pull the dog away, so that he can no longer eat food. Then ask the dog to sit down and give him food, and repeat the training several times for several days. This teaches the dog that if he is disrespectful to his owner, he will lose food immediately. And he obeys his master, and he gets food.

The dog's food protection is innate, but with such repeated training, in the face of a powerful owner, it will definitely restrain its own sense of possession, thus obeying the sense of status of a group.
