What should be done and how to correct if a dog guards its food?

First, fix the dog in one place and give the commands of "sit" or "lie down" (which can be controlled by a family member with a leash). Put the dog's favorite food beyond the dog's food-guarding distance, that is, more than 35 centimeters away, to attract the dog's attention, but control the dog from approaching.



Slowly bring the dog closer to the food by a person. During this process, cooperate with the commands to keep the dog quiet and not impatient. Once the dog shows signs of impatience, immediately take the dog away and use a gentle tone to give the command to stop this behavior. Then repeat the above steps, bring the food closer to the dog. Once the dog shows food-guarding behavior, immediately take the dog away and cooperate with the commands and admonishments until the dog no longer guards the food. The principle of this method is to let the dog understand the principle of "space sharing", let the dog know that it is entering the owner's food-protecting circle, and that the owner shared the food with it. Start with space sharing to correct the behavior of food guarding.
