If your dog is exhibiting signs of food aggression, then it is necessary to take steps to fix this. There are many published ways to approach the issue and most methods involve thoughtful training. Consider hand-feeding your pet as she will quickly come to realize that you are a giving the food and not taking it away. Have your dog eat after you have completed your meal, making it known that this is a respectful hierarchy within the family pack. Do not become combative with your pet as you take control of her food aggression. Instead, act in a deliberate and consistent manner until the undesirable behavior subsides.

I see. My comments are being moderated. Are anyone else’s?
Ok so I’m guessing that I cannot post links here and that’s why my comments with them aren’t appearing.
This “tip” is nothing but garbage. The link offered is MORE garbage. I think this poster really should just stick with promoting dog treats and stay away from training and behavioral issues when it’s clear she knows little about either.
Here are some great sites with GOOD information on resource guarding (NOT “food aggression”). Just add the proper http stuff in, since I can’t post links.

Please anyone reading these tips, do NOT buy into the dominance myths and definitely do not believe that resource guarding has anything to do with dominance as defined here.
Thanks for the tips-I’ve been using some on the advice of our trainer and they seem to be working.
thx for the tips! Hopefully they will help my dog:)
