No but if you read.. I did say that only ONE day I corrected him for growling at me, he learned from me taking his food away Twice, that growling at me, or acting agressively resulted in me taking his dinner away. As I have done with an adult dog with severe seperation anxiety- it was how the behaviourist told me to. I wasn't telling him off.. But he loves his food.. therefore if he is going to do unwanted behaviour, he will get it removed, and rewarded by getting it back once he is calm.

From one day, twice doing this, he has stopped growling completely.

I Want to be able to take his food off him, go near him when he has pork strips, Without him reacting.

I want him to think it is completly normal for me and my family to be close and able to take things off him. Food does not belong to him, everything belongs to me.

I do also add food to his bowl but it is more taking things and being near him I want him used to as I said I have a small boy and although he has been taught not to pester the dogs, you can't predict them or be everywhere at once, so I want that peice of mind, knowing that from a very young age, the pup isn't going to react to Anyone near food.

As people have said, they think I am doing it right... I must have done something right, because he has never growled at me with foor, treat or toy once since.
