A few weeks ago kinagat ako ni Major. With trembling hands and knees, right after ng series ng kagat, I composed myself and managed to reprimand him (nilagyan ko muna ng busal bago ko pinagalitan, takut aku ih 😂).
Kukunin ko kasi pagkain nya. He has food aggression at minsan iiwan nya muna ang food nya kapag nangalahati na. He stops and becomes tense when you touch him habang kumakain. Although I have command over him, (he can "sit and stay" and eat when I say "Go") once nasa kanya na yung bowl of food nagiging dominante na sya.
Pagkatapos ko sya i-isolate para magpababa ng energy, nagsearch muna ako ng konting Cesar Millan sa YT at ibang dog trainers din:
🐾 Primal instinct ng dogs na protektahan resources nya.
👣 Kailangan mo ipaintindi sa a*o mo na ikaw ang may ari ng pagkain nya at binibigyan mo lang sya ng parte.
🐾 Kailangan nya muna humingi ng permiso bago kumain, that's why I give him food when he makes eye contact. Kailangan on time reward sa kanya para malaman nya na making eye contact/asking permission is a good thing.
👣 Kailangan ka nyang bigyan ng space habang nag p-prepare ng food nya para maiwasan yung jumping at small incidents gaya ng natatapon na pagkain dahil tinalunan ng a*o.
Nanood din ako ng food aggression vids specific for Belgian Malinois, iba iba kasi ang temperament ng dogs. I hope this will not give you an impression na aggressive lang ang Malinois. Malinois dogs are smart and fast-learners; they are energetic and protective. Also, kailangan mo din kausapin yung a*o mo as if naiitindihan nya lahat (yung "this is my food" part, i think no bearing yun 😂).
EDIT: this happened hours after the incident.
