Dog's Best Friend's Daily Training Tip:
Dogs are always changing and
no matter how sweet your rascals are, there is always potential for new
issues like Resource Guarding to crop up. To ensure that your pups are
always okay with people approaching their food bowls, make a habit of
regularly walking by your dogs' food bowl, while they are eating (just
about a foot way), and throwing in a delicious treat. This will teach
your pups that a person coming close to their bowl is a wonderful thing
and nothing to worry about or guard against (*caveat - never allow
children to approach their dogs' bowl. Do not do this if your dog is already
resource guarding. Consult a professional if that is the case).
My dogs are 6, 7 and 8 and I do this every single day!
