| Re: suprising agression
When I first got my girl I was very afraid of her becoming agressive over posessions such as food or treats.
What I learned is that you have to make her realize that the hand does not take food or treats but gives. We started her young by feeding her by hand, litterally hand fulls of food. We would make her eat an entire meal out of our hands. When we feed her out of her bowl we will often stick our hands in there and touch her toung or lips while she is eating; I wouldn't do this if she showed agression though. We hold her favorite bone while she eats it, take it away, make her sit and shake paws, then give it back.
Hope that helps. |
