Dog food aggression is a dog behavior problem that is difficult for humans to understand. It doesn't make sense that your dog would think of you as a threat to their food.

He is letting you know that he considers himself as the leader or alpha dog in your household. Dog food aggression is a dominance issue, it isserious and needs to be taken care of immediately, and it won't just go away.

Food aggression in dogs should never be tolerated as you never know when it can escalate into something more dangerous. Why Does Your Dog Display Dog Food Aggression? Dog food aggression can be triggered by any number of factors. Here are a few:
- Your dog is desperate for this food, in his mind he doesn't know if he will get any more. Because of this he protects or guards his food, just like he would have in the wild.
- It's possible that your dog doesn't even understand that his dog food aggression is a problem. In such cases there is an obvious communication problem between human and dog.
Here are a few tips for you:
- If your dog is directing his aggression towards other dogs the best thing to do is separate them when they eat. Feed them in different rooms.
