[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I WOULD NEVER allow my toddler near a dog that’s eating!! It really doesn’t matter what kind of dog it is. [b] All dogs are very territorial of their food and will lash out at anything or anyone that gets near it[/b].  The parents are morons for allowing this to happen. I won’t even allow my cats to get near my large dog when she’s eating because all it takes is one bite to seriously injure them. [/quote]

Some dogs are.  No family dog should be.  None of our dogs are or have been territorial of their food or their toys.  [/quote]

+1.  We could rest our hand in our 90lb dog's bowl and he just ignored us.  We checked for food aggression when he was a young puppy and he just never had any.  [/quote]

No offense but this is a pretty ignorant take.  A child simply should not approach a dog while it is eating.  Dogs are not robots with absolute inputs and outputs.  A dog that has never showed food aggression may do so at one point and a dog who has been food aggressive may be trained out of it.  Dogs are animals and their behavior should not be treated as absolutely predictable.[/quote]
