\r\n"Every time you are with your dog have him in a pinch or prong collar with a leash attached. Whenever he displays any signs of dog food aggression you immediately administer a correction to your dog by snapping on the leash. What this does to your dog is build a negative association to the act of his food guarding antics. Note: I personally don\'t advocate this method but many experienced dog trainers swear by it. "
\r\n
\r\nModern behavior science tells us that an aversive correction like this actually creates a negative association between the food bowl and the human making the above "solution:" backfire. Aggression begets aggression, or to quote Steve White "Dog training that uses pain is like a nuclear bomb - You might not see an immediate impact but there is definitely fallout at some point."

Correction on food aggression statement
I just found this forum but wanted to point our the error of the statement below.
"Every time you are with your dog have him in a pinch or prong collar with a leash attached. Whenever he displays any signs of dog food aggression you immediately administer a correction to your dog by snapping on the leash. What this does to your dog is build a negative association to the act of his food guarding antics. Note: I personally don't advocate this method but many experienced dog trainers swear by it. "
