Food aggresion PLEASE HELP
Kathy,
I don't know what to do. Im so upset about this and my wife wants us to get rid of our dog. What should I do? Yesterday me, my wife and Jacob (our 8 month old son) had my wife's sister over with her 1 year old daughter. Jerry(our dog) was excited that people were over, but wasn't being to bad. So my wife let him out. I let him back in 10 min later. I kept him on a leash so he wouldn't knock over the kids. (Jerry is about 70 lbs) Well the babies were eating cheerios on the floor and crawling around and stuff and I let jerry eat the cheerios they dropped. 5 min later Jerry is laying on the floor and my niece grabs for a cheerio on the floor in front of jerry and BAM jerry snaps at her. It was disturbing and so scary because jerry is such a friendly dog. But I was scared he bit a hole in her face. I saw it happen like it was in slow motion. I pulled jerry back before he could do anything else. My wife was crying thinking about what could of happen. He could of easily of bit into her face or even worse. Ok, so my wife wants to rid of the dog. She is really really upset, crying all night long about it. I don't know what to do. I don't want to get rid of jerry. I love that dog. He has had some food aggression in the past as a puppy. He does get nasty when someone messes with whatever he is eating on the floor. How do I break him of this? I have a baby so you know there will be lots of food on the floor all the time. Please help me. |
