good gawd no! in my house its "gaurd it or lose it" Happy is the most submissive dog in my house, she has to be locked in her crate to eat because all the others will walk up hackles raised and take her food, and since she is not a fan of food in the first place her reaction is "ok" and walks away. they are all more then willing to walk up to another dog attack them and then eat their food or take their bone or whatever. we did teach them to wait their turn though lol
