Whoa Kids! I come back two days later and look what I started.

A couple of notes: Loki is a rottie.

Loki is not food agressive. I can feed the two outside the crate side by side and have with no issues. They eat marrow bones side by side on the porch. When I feed, Loki is in the crate with the door closed. The rest of the dogs are allowed to leave their crates when done. Calvin (the beagle) has approached Loki's crate a couple of times and after eating and Loki growled as he approached. I did give an immediate correction to both dogs which ended any semblance of a confrontation.

We live and breathe NILIF. With 4 dogs, one being a pup and another being a foster, we have no choice. I must maintain control and be a leader all the time. My dogs are well trained and compete in obedience. (bunches of titles coming this summer!)

What I wanted to know was: If I feed the two side by side outside the crate, will that help Loki from RESOURCE GUARDING not food aggression(two different issues). I will keep Calvin away from him and let him eat in peace, but I'd still like to know if my possible solution would work.
