Dunkin just turned on me, what to do?

[taffiecandy]

I fed them this morning,each in a different area as always. Dunk left his bowl with some food in it, and went into the kitchen and chased Charkol away, I went into the kitchen and told Dunk NO and reached down to push him away from the bowl and the little brat turned and tried to bite and growled at me! I called my trainer in Tocoma, Washington and she said put a leash on him and lead him away from the kitchen back to his bowl. So as of this morning the boy is back in training! Any input from anyone here will be greatly apreciated. Thanks in advance.

I always crate to feed. That way you can be sure no one steals anyone's food and the eaters feel secure. feeding in the crate also makes the crate a good place, so they don't mind going in at other times if need be.

Take care,
Lisa

To get him used to your hands (or anyone's) near his food, you can hand feed him a couple bites of his kibble each time you feed him.. this will teach him not only to be used to your hands close by, but also that your hands are good things to be enjoyed, not nipped at.
