Gracie tore into Beanie today!!! HELP!

There's several things you can do to work on food aggression to humans, but it is a bit trickier when it is towards other dogs. When its with other dogs, usually the best thing is prevention. As others have said, she will learn to deal with the crate or she just won't be able to have her special treats. It is a huge concern that she is doing that, especially at such a young age. I would probably never trust them alone (unsupervised) together. You might get to that point someday, but for now I'd just plan some major preventative measures so that Beanie doesn't get hurt.. or worse

!! Your lucky shes still a puppy! so it should be easier for you to correct it NOW. I agree with Glacier's advice

Poor Beanie!!! *kissies* Hows he doing??

LKPike- Beanie's fine. he stayed away from her for the rest of the day though.

IRescue452- i did the "leave it" command from day one. she knows the command and obeys it.....about 90% of the time.lol

Glacier- i do look forward to that stage in her life. i'm home all day and i'm quite bored. when she gets destructive i have all the time and energy to deal with it. it'll be tough, but i can do it. yes, i do plan on showing her. if i didn't she would be spayed.

also, i e-mailed her breeder last night. we are prety good freinds and we are gonna plan a play day and talk.

i might try the horn. whatever works.


thanks again everyone!

We always have to seperate Jenny and Buster from each other because of safety issues. Never would I put my dogs together in a room(Except Ginger and Rocky get along in the same room with a bone and they don't bicker with each other) I would seek help from a behaviorist. Please do not get rid of Gracie for this incident. If I were you, I'd seperate them from now on and go to your breeder and ask them questions about her behavior if it continues. IMO, no dog should be alone in a room with a treat together unless you know that they won't go after each other.

Chiming in here too

Roxey isn't really possesive about her treats but very possessive about her food balls. No one gets those...period! But luckily there is never a fight about it. She's pretty mellow. Her and Bon or Huney can have treats together and there is never a word from her.

Now Bon, he's another story. We had this problem from when he was a puppy. He always wanted Huney's treats. A couple of times he even jumped on her (nothing serious though). I DO NOT let him and Huney have treats at the same time in the same room. I put him out and she stays in, and she's like Beenie..won't eat her treat unless I'm right there so I just stay in with her and Bon and Roxey go out.
I even tried putting him in his crate but as long as he's in the house Huney won't even touch her treat. She's very submissive.
So I wouldn't worry about it, just prevent it

Needless to say they don't get "good treats" like pigs ears or bones much
