[QUOTE="SaraT, post: 120330, member: 2270"] Well, I'm not an expert, but I have had experience with food aggressive/protective dogs. And I have the kind too big to pick up. I have broken all three of mine from being possive of toys/bones, and their food. It is hard work, but worth it. Mine are all fed in same room now and can have bones in same room. Here is how I did it.(You can try it or not as you choose.) Put Molly in another room, and only work with 2 dogs at a time. Put both other dogs on leashes.(You will need a helper, or tie one to a door or something.) Give one dog the bone/toy. If the other goes for it, tug back on leash and say no. This will take several times of repeating. Then switch which dog has bone, and do same to other if they go for it. Use the same bone, and keep switching which has the bone. This teaches them that sharing doesn't mean loosing. It could take weeks to get through, but they eventually learn and you can have them off leash with no fights. It also teaches them that the humans are the "alpha dog". This worked on 2 rotts and 1 shepard, so it might work on your 2. Just a thought. SaraT [/QUOTE]
