Take 2: Food agression revisited! Pit bull food fight?? greenville dog obedience training
March 5, 2010 by Dog Trainer Filed under Dog Obedience
www.dogtrouble.net This is a second look at a food aggression case I took on. A serious case where no amount of dog obedience training would have helped. For more information on the details of the case please see my “food aggression cured???” video. In this second look we are going to watch the full length feeding session from beginning to end. This time I have higher quality video and audio. Enjoy!
You bet! Leadership is the key.
lol there is no guarding going on anywhere. Pay attention to the TAILS. These dogs still eat side by side every single day with ZERO incidents… let me repeat that… ZERO.
My 5lb male chihuahua will steal kibbles out of my 60 pound female pit’s bowl, while she’s still eating from it. Wasn’t always like this though, the chihuahua probably still has a dent on his head from his first food thieving incident, which was in the first few days of his arrival(at 14 weeks old).
This guy gives good tips for breaking any dog out of this behavior. Lots of patience, time, supervision and minor corrections and you should be able to accomplish this too. Never give up.
so true man, i have three pitbulls and they just need a pack leader.
Great video, but you really should put a disclaimer on your vid for inexperienced dog owners (a majority) who will watch this and duplicate what they’re seeing. They’ll put their dogs bowls together and have two dogs eating face-to-face and one will kill the other. You can still see guarding in this video as the pitty hovers over her bowl and eats from the outside, while the other dog leans in and eats from the side of the bowl furthest from the pit.
My dog is giving me trouble,with eating…
He doesn’t eat his food…I started giving him Ped and he was always having the bubble guts so I switched his diet to (Aims hard)food.He doesnt eat it unless I add sauce to it example:Tuna,BbQ,raw EGG and ect…Any comments or Suggenstions?
I love you. No really I do.
wow, that dogs eyes, the blue are amazing!
the dog on th right looks like a ghost
Those are two very beautiful dogs you have there.
In my opinion, everyone should do this with their dogs.
such a great example of rehabilitation. im so happy that your pit bull got a second chance with you. i have a pit bull mix (former bait dog as a puppy) that i’ve been working with for 2 years now. he’s a fabulous dog, trustworthy companion and gentle with people and all creatures. an amazing breed. ……. just curious, what breed is Blue? he’s so unusual looking – im curious. thank you….
Good job.
I wish you would take this bloodhound.. :0( he is so bad with food and is now having to move to his third home. I wish some one like you would take him in
how did you do that?
Beautiful pitbull. Mine as an issue of not aggression but stealing the other pit’s food and then she gets pissed.
hey do you think you can help my dog? he bites and all that bad stuff and i went to your website and it said you will go anywhere in the U.S.? if thats true, please come to where i live. and does your training really work? I told my friends about you and that they think this is all fake.
I love how she lays down =]
ey yo man i have a female staffordshire terrier but she not house broken. any easy tips you can give me cause this shit is crazy man.
wow..exiting XP………. my dogs would`ve fought from less then that tho..i just wouldnt feed em together or have bones and stuff and they`ed be fine..they where alot bigger dogs then those tho( over 100ibs)
You have right in some things. But i think your giving your self little bit to mutch of the credit. hehe
Very true indeed. I have to emphasize to folks whom I help that long term change is only a result of consistent leadership. In a lot of these behavior problems months or years of bead conditioning can take time and patience to help resolve. It doesn’t happen over night. Believe me, this big girl had a separate kennel for a while. Early part of 2007 she was living in my pack of 4 dogs and eating with the whole pack daily as a healthy dog should.
I think it’s often the case of the wrong dog in the wrong hands. This to me would have to be tackled on day one with the new puppy. I had 1 totally neurotic labrador bitch that I rescued who had been tied up in a dark shed for all her previous life, It took me 2 years to ‘normalise’ her.
