What the heck is wrong with that dog?
why would anyone keep a pet with those issues? that type of food/toy possession can lead to a lot of bites/nips.
we actually spent a lot of time with our dog feeding him by hand, removing or messing with his food bowl while he was eating, taking toys out of his mouth and then giving them back, etc, so he wouldn't freak out if someone walked by when he was playing or eating.
Now when our 2YO feeds him treats, the boy's whole hand disappears into the dog's mouth but the treat will still be there if the dog can't get to it without touching skin with his teeth.
