part of it I think is there temperment. but also their upbringing. When Luca first came to us he was skin and bone. Not a good start which was why he was at the rescue. She he was VERY food protective. And thought he had to protect all his food. Sheena taught him there was no need of that, add in a regular diet and my training where he was not allow to eat unless my hands and so on where in the dish and he quickly got over it.

But the biggest key to make him not food aggresvie with other animals was Sheena. Having another adult dog teach a younger one(Luca was 4 1/2 months old when we got him) helps a huge deal. She would share her food with him when he would finish his. So now Luca shares with all the animals.

And now both of them are teaching Ajax the same thing. If ther eis growling then I do step in. When Luca would growl I would disapline him and remove the bone, food, treat or whatever. So he learned that way too. Took about 3 or 4 months but he got over it with the combination of all of that.

Ajax has yet to growl or show any signs of being the least bit food protective.
