Dogs are naturally protected by food, and owners should not blame the dog too much, and they should not beat them directly. This will only aggravate the dog's food protection problem, and may even make the dog hate you, resulting in revenge or poor obedience. Therefore, it is necessary to take some small thoughts to solve the problem of food protection for dogs.
1. Start training from childhood
According to scientific research, dogs can undergo corresponding food care training when they are three or four months old. Dogs at this period are almost not aggressive and do not need to worry about being accidentally injured. And puppies are curious and can better master these basic trainings driven by curiosity.
2. Build a sense of trust
Try to put the food in your palm first and give it to your dog to eat, so that it knows that you are the owner, and you are safe, and slowly build trust with your dog.
When the dog is willing to eat in your palm, it means that the dog is accepting you and trusting you. After the dog gets used to it, you can try to put the dog food in the food utensils to let the dog know that you are the giver of the food, not the robber.
When feeding dog food, you should also pay attention to the nutritional ingredients. Try to feed some natural dog food with low salt and low oil and balanced nutrition as the main one, which will help the dog grow up healthily!
3. Accompany your dog to eat
Dogs are naturally highly vigilant, so when eating, you should always be with your dog to give the dog a sense of security. When a dog protects food, try to get closer to the dog, talk to it more and let it trust you. After trying for a while, the dog will get used to it and knows that you will not rob it of food, so naturally you will not steer food.
4. Feel the dog appropriately
When the dog is eating, you can try to slowly start stroking the dog from the back. Do not rush to touch it. It depends on the dog's acceptance. If the dog is not repulsive, you can slowly touch the head and try to relax the dog so that it understands that you are just stroking it, not snatching food from it.
