So I wanted to give an update on REilly and his food aggression. We tried to do the box and eat before and stuff and nothign seemed to work. he would snap at us. WE found steps online that worked miracles for us.
http://k9deb.com/foodguar.htm Thats it. WE had started doing it when we first got him, and it was working, but then we left out of town for 5 days and he regressed and for some reason i decided to try other things. Which was stupid cause that websites steps were working. ITs great!! I recommend it to anyone who has a dog with food aggression. I have a question though. What are peoples thoughts on giving my dog a kibble and peanut butter filled kong instead of the bowl once a day? do you think this will lead to more aggression??? Further, what type of peanut butter do you get ur dog because I know that they can't process sodium well.
