3. taking your dog’s food away

There’s a myth that has been floating around for many years now that you as a dog owner should be able to take the food bowl away from your dog while they’re eating the old-school belief is that your dog should apparently be able to cope with being disturbed while heating this may cause serious problems and is completely inappropriate as it can trigger dangerous levels of insecurity defensive miss and aggressive behaviors when you look at an eating dog pack even when the dominant ones have finished they do not disturb another dog to go back for more they give it in human terms would you be happy if a waiter in a restaurant brought your food to the table and then about 10 minutes or so stuck his hand in your mashed potatoes or took away that chicken shrimp stick you haven’t got to yet on the other hand allowing them to eat but under supervision with you standing close and never touching the food ball is the proper way to go this technique helps raise their confidence around you and reduces their insecurity and distrust gaining your respect.
