I would be willing to bet the lives of all my animals that what was wrong with your dog had absolutley nothing to do with food aggression. If you took him to a vet, then good for you, but what you are describing sounds totally neurological, not behavioral.Originally Posted by crittermom
There are SOME that can't be trained. I don't care what kind of work you do with them, some can't be saved.I took ours to the shelter to hold while I was contacting rescue to go and get him.The workers at the shelter told me to come down and sign for him to be PTS because he was so food vicious.He actually lungeded at the workers over his food.This coming from a dog that was raised with my 4 kids from 12 weeks old to 1 1/2 years old.He NEVER ever showed any kind of aggression until one day he snarled at our female pup.He tried to bite her.I seperated them and kept them away from each other at feeding time.
That was fine, until the day he went after my son.It was then that I feared that dog and what he would to to my children.I will never ever take that chance again with a food/toy aggressive dog.
I should add that until that point, he would let the kids waller all over him, anything and he would do nothing.I trusted this dog with my children and thought he'd keep them safe..........not harm them.
Now, thanks to him--I can't trust ANY animal 100%.
