Can this be accomplished? Food aggression or aggression towards people/other animals?

Don't leave feed when you're not home.

I think it will always linger beneath the surface. Amazing how many killer, uh, pit bulls (Freudian slip) never as much as scratch a flea before they latched on to the neck of a three year old and killed her.

A shock collar is the worst thing you can get for an aggressive dog.

In before pitbulls.

nope, you can teach them to suppress the fear so they relax and dont feel threatened, and by default, that suppresses the aggression, but the instinct stays there just below the surface.
just like with pit bulls, no matter how sweet and gentle they act, they can flip a switch and revert to basic instincts at the drop of a hat

Yes.

Exercise and plenty of it to start.
quote:
Food aggression or aggression towards people/other animals?
Yes. Teach your dog the "leave it" command. And let your dog only eat when you give him permission to eat. Reclaim your space as the "pack leader."

If so is there anyone in Baton Rouge that you would recommend?
Larry Benoit.

No but you can kick it out of them.

My last g/f had a great dane that had a pretty sizable crank and wasn't neutered.

I told her she had to choose between me and the dog, and she dumped me.
I laughed way too hard at this.

If by train, you mean put them down, then yes.

I have a collie mix that loved dog parks. Was super friendly with every dog. He then got bit by some trash pit and ever since then he gets aggressive with big dogs. Haven't taken him to a dog park in a year and not sure how to stop the aggression with bigger dogs. He loves small dogs, humans, etc and knows I run the house.

Are you trying to train your pitbull to babysit toddler?
Posted on 2/12/18 at 10:01 pm to Broke
We were not able to train our dog to drop his food aggression. With the help of a trainer we were able to minimize it and spot problems before they became a real issue, but we could never eliminate it totally. I do recommend Larry Benoit as a trainer like someone else recommended. He is awesome.

For food aggression:
As a previous poster said leave it is good for this. Practice leave it with the food yourself then with another person. Once you have that down, do leave it then give a bit of food to the other animal. Keep a leash on your aggressive dog just in case. It should teach restraint with others present. If doing this with normal food doesn’t work, try special treats like dry freeze food.
With the info provided, that would be my suggestion.
Also, we don’t give my dog food until we instruct her to eat. She must be called, sit, then told ok. If you don’t do this, try this as well. You can try leave it with the food bowl after the dog gets used to being commanded when to eat.
In general, I suggest keeping a leash on your dog even in the house if it is aggressive. Consistency is key. Work on this every time you feed your dog. Maybe 30 minutes before breakfast and then 30 minutes before dinner.
