is food aggressive. I do't know why. I adopted her at about 1 year. She's taken three obedience courses, and (finally) passed her CGC. But food aggression continues to be a problem. She has to be fed in her crate with the door shut, because she growls and gets her hair up if one of the cats sniffs around her food. I know about this problem and carefully monitor who's around when she has food--I don't allow anyone but me to giver her treats, just in case.
Other than this, she's a great dog. Everyone loves her, and few people have seen her aggressive side--and don't believe me when I tell them about it. Should she be put down? That seems a bit drastic. But I don understand my responsibility to be vigilant.
I would love to know if something in her puppyhood caused this...
