Although Jack do explain in the PBB and show a demostration in the feeding raw DVD a little aggression when feeding raw ( in fact you can look it up on youtube), however, I have been feeding raw for a year now and I personally havn't had any problems with my Bulldogs showing aggression to me or my family, but each dog is different.
sry 2 hear, but never had a dog who showed any sign of food aggression on raw. i learned my dogs to respect me from the start, they can eat after i put the bowl and moved away. think that helps allot.
It depends on the dog.
Feeding raw chicken quarters is one thing, but handing a dog a dead animal is another. I can stick my hand in any of my dog's bowls, if I feed them kibble, and they don't care. I can give them a chicken quarter and they don't seem to care. But if I give them a dead rabbit, a whole animal kill, they don't seem to take too kindly to having me try to take it from them.
I remember when I used to give Stormbringer a shankbone, you couldn't come near his chain spot for about 2 hours. He'd flat-out get you and he wasn't joking. Any other time, he was as friendly as could be, and you could put your hand in his kibble dish. But if you gave him a bone, you'd better clear out of that chain spot as soon as he got it

Agree with JAck again. It depends on the dog. Machobear, Machabear, Mr.Machobuck, Sharapova, Miss MAchobuck...I can take thier bone or a raw slab of meat. Super Machobuck doesnt take kind to me taking and raw beef from his bowl. I can stick my hand in his kibble , and even remove a bone or chicken quarter..just dont mess with his BEEF

I DIDNT AGREE. IVE HAD SOME THAT WOULD SCREAM CRAZY AND NIP A MY HANDS WHILE BEING HELD WANTING TO BE RELEASE. SO I ASKED WOULD YOU CULL FOR THAT AS WELL?
Red meat always causes more aggression then kibble. Deer season is just about wrapped up here and I quit going to the butcher because I got tired of all the shit talking between kennels on my yard. It just wasn't worth it.
Now culling because an animal will have an affinity for real food over processed food and taking the time to let you know it’s attraction to red meat… sounds like some good dogs may have been culled unnecessarily.
I flat-out disagree with this person.
A true man-eater just LIKES attacking humans, unprovoked, and will go after ANY human it sees (except maybe its owner) and is a 100% danger to human beings.
A dog that is happy under every other conceivable circumstance, but is jealously guarding its own fresh, bloody kill is just being a dog. Every single creature on this earth needs "its own private space" for certain things, and I think it is disrespectful to a dog's BASIC NATURE to try to be pulling fresh, bloody kills from its mouth while it's eating them. (It is more than just disrespectful, it is stupid and unnecessary IMO.)
I for one think it's a whole lot more reasonable to just leave the damned dog alone, and let him enjoy his meal in privacy and peace, than it is to try to provoke a negative response out of the dog by yanking a kill out of its mouth ... and then to shoot the poor dog for doing what pretty much is the natural response any damned dog (with some pizzazz to his ass) would give when his very meal is snatched from him.
Getting rid of undesirable traits of needless aggression is one thing; being a total control freak and trying to make a dog devoid of any sense of self (and self-preservation) is quite another IMO.

this!!! couldn't agree more. although i do think it's important to let them respect you when you put down the bowl and don't let them attack the food half way, like i mentioned before. when they're pups its most easy to put them in their place. sometimes i stroke em a little bit after they start eating and then just leave and let them enjoy it. if you find it very important you can also learn them to chew stuff out of your hand. but there is no reason to take away food, or to battle them.
