Default Dear dog whisperers I need your help for a small problem.

Rob spoke these words of wisdom in news:uO8hk.21526
:

I have a friend who in a fit of loneness has bought a dog. He is very
good with the dog walks it, looks after it

He lives in a apartment and in Australia you are not allowed to keep a
dog in an apartment. If his landlord finds out he will be kicked out.

My friends job requires him to go on trips about once every couple
months for about a week at a time.

I have offered to look after his dog but I have a German Shepard his
dog is a small fox terrier.

They get on fine have and seem to have a lot of fun,

EXCEPT

1. When I am close by.

2. Meal times.


I have tried putting two plates far away from each other but they both
want the same plate at the same time.


Tips suggestions gratefully accepted

Crate them during meal time. Both are also resource guarding YOU.
Terriers tend to be very dog aggressive so i would watch them carefully,
always avoiding any event that may trigger aggression.
