Canine: Aggression over Food, Toys, or Treats


Beagle Attacks over Treats
 When given a marrow bone, this Beagle becomes seriously aggressive to anyone who approaches. He also sleeps on the bed, and attacks the second person to come to bed at night.
Dangerous Aggression Between Two Female Dogs
 The owner wants a relaxed lifestyle while living with two female terriers, and feeding them together. Is the 8-year-old Yorkie going to be safe as the 10-month-old Airedale matures?
Dogs Fighting
 The large, 4-year old male terrier mix has inflicted injuries on both the female Chow mix and the male terrier mix in the home, as well as on one of the owners. They have decided not to keep him, and want help considering their options.
Fatal Pack Order Fighting
 Grown-up daughter not living at home had two highly-trained female German Shepherds kept with a smaller female mixed breed. One of the GSDs killed the mix, and now Mom thinks the "vicious" GSD should be euthanized.
Fearful, Aggressive Springer Spaniel
 A springer spaniel started showing aggression over her food and treats at 4 months of age, and has growled and snapped more at the owner as she has followed the advice of two different trainers. It's time for help from a behavior specialist.
Feeding Multiple Dogs at the Same Time
 A dog who has had to defend food from another animal may start defending it from humans, resulting in dog bites. Dogs who would never start fighting with each other for any other reason will often start over food. Too often, the fighting among the dogs extends to other situations if the humans don’t act quickly enough.
Food Guarding
 Guarding food or toys from other animals is a normal canine behavior. Life with dogs in our homes is safer when dogs do not guard their food.
Food Guarding
 A 15-month old Border Collie has been in his home just a month and is seriously guarding his food dish from an adult owner. The family plans to have children, and wants to be sure the dog will be okay with them.
German Shepherd Aggressive At Night
 A 2 1/2-year old neutered male German Shepherd is picking up an item at bedtime and "guarding" it from family members without biting. He also sometimes barks at visitors, and gets growly with the family kids.
Handling Aggression Between Littermates
 Two 8-month old male West Highland White Terriers have been raised together even to the extent of sharing the same crate. Now they have begun to fight.
My Dog Won’t Share
 A 2-year old Golden Retriever was attacked three times by other dogs in her first year of life, each attack resulting in injury. Now she grabs all the toys and aggressively guards them whenever she interacts with other dogs.
New Rescue Can’t Get Along
 A 7-year old neutered male Toy Poodle has joined a home with two older small Poodles, leaving a home with a 2-year old child. He is extremely aggressive to the new owner and the other dogs, especially when "guarding" something, and he will bite.
Same Sex Dogs in the Home
 When you put two dogs of the same sex together in your home, there is always a risk that they will not be able to get along. Sometimes they will fight, and it can be severe. What can you do to solve problems after they arise, or prevent them from happening in the future?
Starved Rescue Attacks Over Food
 A 3-year old female West Highland White Terrier found as a starving stray is sometimes extremely aggressive, especially when she has food or a toy. At other times she can be very sweet...
Whining, Fighting
 An 11-month old, recently neutered male Doberman has come to live in a house with a 2-year old intact female Doberman. They whine at each other and fight over food, and the male is aggressive to other dogs besides her.
