Alpha Shih-tzu bites?

lol he is sooo cute I have a shih tzu too and he use to do that before but as you can see he's being guarded but waggling his tail he knows your his owner but he sees you back away when he snaps at you like that so DON'T tell him NO in a command voice not sweet and keep saying NO in a command( serious tone voice) and when he backs away or does not snap PRAISE HIM say good boy/girl or/and give him a treat keep this up and every time he does not snap he will see he/she gets a treat!

Hope this works!

That's got nothing to do with Alpha, Dominance or food. It is a learned behavior you've taught him. Don't say anything to him. Just walk in, shove him out of the way with your foot and take the darn bowl.

in the experience that your canines had rabies in Jan 2011 it would be lifeless with the help of now. Why in the international did you get the anti-rabies photographs whilst your canines of course does no longer have rabies? the only time you ought to take the anti-rabies photographs is whilst bitten with the help of an animal contaminated with rabies. Rabies sin't something this is merely led to with the help of a chew. that's a viral an infection that is exceeded on with the aid of a chew.

That is called Food aggression is potentially dangerous behavior that occurs when your dog becomes territorial regarding its food dish or any other source of food. Aggressive behavior can be shown in growling, snapping, or even biting another dog or human who attempts to go near the food bowl. Since any form of aggression in a dog is inappropriate, this behavior should be immediately addressed and modified to allow your dog to be a healthy and happy member of your household. Furthermore, aggressive dogs are more likely to become violent dogs, so you should take steps to curb this behavior in order to avoid painful injuries.

First of all, if your dog if showing signs of food aggression, you should move the dog's feeding area. If you have more that one dog in your home, completely separate the two animals during feeding time. Many dog owners choose to leave food available to their dogs throughout the day. This is an excellent idea, especially if you are away during the day but still want to allow your dog a source of food. However, if your dog is experiencing food aggression, this practice should be stopped and your dog should be fed on a schedule. If you are unsure of a proper feeding schedule, contact your veterinarian.

Second, work to establish yourself as the "alpha male" of your group. Your dog needs to recognize you as the one who provides food and sees you above him on the pecking order of your home. Once this order is recognized, your dog will be less likely to display aggression towards you when you approach his food dish. To establish this order, let your dog know immediately that you can provide him with food if he acts properly, and you can take the food away when improper behavior is shown. This also goes with treats, as dogs often show aggression over food items that are given as treats.

This method will allow to dog to make the connection between proper behavior and his ability to eat. Keep in mind that you may need to maintain the feeding schedule or even keep your dogs separated while eating so your dog does not revert back to his aggressive behavior. Also, if you see your dog transferring his aggression to other triggers, such as toys, bedding, or territory, be sure to immediately begin working to curb this behavior.

Hope I helped..
