QUESTION:

My friend adopted a new dog in Dec. Recently he has become very nippy. He is starting to growl at the children and nipping at people. She has noticed that this usually occurs during dinner time and when the kids go into the kitchen to either get more food or put away their plates. He also recently nipped at a friend who went into the kitchen to get something out of a coolers!

ANSWER:

Hi Ayanna,

Thank you for contacting me and I apologize for my late response. It appears that your dog definitely has a behavior issue. I would suggest that you consult with a trainer that specializes in food aggression for assistance in addressing this issue.

You might want to check our Friends & Partners page on our website for assistance in finding a trainer.

Good luck!
