Food Aggression

When bringing a new dog into the house, there are many things that need to be tested for.  One of those is the tendency towards food aggression, a major cause of fights within a pack.  When introducing a new dog into The Herd, we always crate feed for a while to test the temperament of a dog about eating among its peers.  Some dogs graduate quickly to eating out with the rest of The Herd and others may take a long time to be trusted with open food.

Don't I look all tense and insecure?

No? Ok, so maybe I just like breakfast in bed.

We are thinking Frankie is passing this test with flying colors.

    Frankie, are you sure you’re not part Greyhound? They’re all about breakfast in bed!

    Very smart… I can only imagine what would happen if 6 Sibes broke out in a food argument. Oh my.

    Frankie is adjusting so well it is almost as though he has a coach from above!

    Oh that is awesome he did so good, breakfast in bed – heheheh.

    Sigh…4 years later and Fred still eats in his crate. He has BAD food agression with other dogs (not humans). Ever since feeding him in the crate he hasnt fought over food or growled since then. I suppose its a small price to pay for HUGE crate that has to always be up. I do hope ONE DAY we can take it down 🙂

    Good boy Frankie!!
    P.S. If Echo should whisper in your ear something about pulling tails and running….please ignore.
