How to make the dog not protect the food, what to do if the dog protects the food

Here's how to train you::

1. When feeding the dog.

Put the food on your hands and feed it to your dog with delicious food or snacks in the palm of your hand. This feeding method is very safe, and the dog will lick the food without biting the hand. After the dog gets used to it, you can try to hold the food bowl in your hand.

2. Let the dog get used to having someone around when eating.

When feeding your dog, put your hand on your dog first. Pour the food into the bowl while stroking. When the dog is eating, don't stop petting. Move gently and slowly, and be able to talk to them.

It's good to let the dog trust that the owner won't steal his food. Don't be presumptuous in petting, take your time depending on how well the dog accepts. You can start by petting the back half of your dog's body, and when you don't object, then gradually move towards your head, a process that can sometimes take several days to complete.

3. When the dog adapts to eating, someone is around and petted, that is, it does not threaten.

Dog food protection is a bad behavior. If this behavior is not corrected during the puppy period, it will develop into a toy protector, territory protector, etc., and eventually lead to aggression against humans, which is very dangerous. Many people advocate using "beating" to get rid of the bad habit of dog protection, and I strongly disagree with this.

Because dog food protection is an instinct and is innate. Hitting it while it is protecting its food will be counterproductive and will only arouse its desire to protect its food even more. In the wild, animals pay with their lives to compete for a little food.

Food is also very precious to dogs, something that needs to be defended. Therefore, it takes a little patience to train a dog not to protect its food, and not to grab its things in the first place, it will be more dangerous to do so.

Training methods: 1. Feed often. Spread out the palms of your hands, delicious food, which can be snacks, and put them in the palm of your hand to feed to the dog.

This method of feeding is safe, the dog will lick the food, and will not bite the hand. 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 having someone around when eating. When you feed it, put your hand on it first. While petting it, pour the food into its bowl.

When it eats, don't stop petting. Move gently and slowly, and talk to it so that it trusts that you won't steal its food. Don't be presumptuous in petting, but take your time depending on how well the dog accepts.

You can start by stroking the back half of its body and gradually move towards its head when it doesn't object (this process can sometimes take days to complete).

3. Adapt to having someone around and touching during eating, that is, not to threaten. Start trying to take the bowl away. During the whole meal, if you notice signs of threat, such as starting to wrinkle your nose, make a whirring sound, squint your eyes at people, etc., you will yell loudly and take away the food.

When it quiets down, he compliments it, strokes it and says, "Very good." "Give the bowl again.

And so on and so on until it does not resist.

If the dog is protective of food, you can put the food in your hands and feed it so that it feels safe to eat; When it eats, it can be fed while petting, so that it can fully trust the owner and reduce the occurrence of food protection; You can also train it at the right time, try to take the food away, and then praise and feed it when it calms down, so as to avoid the dog's excessive food protection reaction.

Basically, every dog will have a tendency to protect food, this is because they have an instinctive possessiveness, usually when feeding it can be fed on the hand to feed it, so that it gradually understands that it is safe to eat like this, slowly reduce its defense, and wait until it has this habit and then try to hold the food bowl in the hand to feed.

Let the dog develop a habit, when it eats there should be someone next to it, when it eats, stroke it with one hand, feed it with the other, it may bark at first, you can gently stroke the head to calm the emotions, pay attention to the action must be gentle, and when it fully trusts the owner, the situation of protecting the food will slowly decrease.

If the dog begins to frown, make a sound and other threatening tendencies, you should stop loudly, and take the food away, and wait for it to calm down and then praise the feeding, repeat it many times, and the dog will not have an overreaction to protect the food.

It is best to train the dog from an early age, and it is the best training period when the dog is three or four months old, and the dog can quickly master the basic training of food protection. It can improve the dog's sense of trust, accompany the dog to eat, pet the dog, and let the dog know that no one will grab food from it. In order to make dogs docile, it is quite necessary to give them some correct training and guidance from an early age.

Puppies are best trained when they are four or five months old, but for food protection, training can be done early and can be done when they are three or four months old. Because the dog at this time is not aggressive, even if it is less aggressive, the owner can control it well. And at this time, the puppies are more curious, can learn some things well, and can quickly master the basic training of food protection.

In order to improve the dog's trust, the owner can put the food in the palm of his hand and let the dog try to eat it. The moment it eats the food, it shows that it is already trying to trust you, often after a while, it will know that you are letting it eat slowly, no one will compete with it, and after a period of time, you can let it eat in the eating utensils.

When the dog is using food, the owner should be with it, the purpose is to let it eat attentively, so that it has a sense of security, so as not to compare its vigilance, will worry about people or other animals around it to grab food, insist for a period of time, their vigilance will be moderately relaxed and will not be so worried.

When the dog is feeding, the owner can gently stroke their head or back, so that it understands that you just want to pet it, rather than grabbing food from it, so that it becomes a habit, and when it grows up, there will be no phenomenon of protecting food.

Dog food protection can be corrected by dog chewing gum training.

First give a few dog chewing gum for him to chew, and when he bites into a little interest, walk up to the puppy and take the chewing gum that he doesn't like to play with the most, and keep trying until he doesn't mind you taking the dog chewing gum at all.

When the puppy plays with the dog chewing gum for a while, use the snacks it likes to eat (such as chicken jerky) to approach it, let the puppy see the snacks in your hands, when it concentrates on the small snacks in the hand, use the other hand to pick up the chewing gum that it was most interested in before, if the dog does not have much anti-collapse coincidence, you can return the dog chewing gum to it, if the resistance to the emotion is more obvious, you can repeat the training, through the dog chewing gum training, you can make the puppy feel "reach out to it = give", instead of plundering, There is no need to be too possessive of dog chews and other foods.
