Breakfast feeding went fine for 3 times of me putting food in the bowl. My 6 yo cat, Binx, saved the day again and I can barely walk on my right foot. [emoji174] [emoji22]

Sorry to hear that [MENTION=12912]binxrexchubbs[/MENTION]:( how's it going now?
It's going a little better. He still has his moments but I've learned to be faster and where to stand. Thanks. [emoji4]

Yea, another bite. He's extremely possessive of what he thinks is his. I accidentally touched the food bowl with my foot when I wasn't looking. Think it was only for a few seconds but to him, it was too long. So he got my foot. Held on with those strong jaws until my cat came running in from the other room. Make sense? :-/

Sorry to hear this, think it's time to bring in a trainer familiar
with bulldogs and/or food hoarding. Keep us in the loop!

The trainer/behaviorist we're seeing now is supposedly the most knowledgeable with the breed and issues. *shrug

Well that is bad. I have no idea what I would do at this point.

So then, what are they telling y'all at this point? How long has he
been doing this at this level of aggression?

Do they have an opinion about the bite this morning and what you
can do to prevent another?

The only thing we've been told by professionals is to take away his privileges. Chubbs has been increasingly been like this since the end of October, so almost 4 months.

The first bite happened 1.5 months ago, wow, seems like it was just yesterday. No suggestions on to prevent since I'm already wearing shoes, gloves, etc just to feed him... and no I'm not exaggerating.

I'm so sorry to hear that you're continuing to have aggressive issues with Chubbs. I don't know what to suggest or add to the advice you've already received as I don't have any experience with this. Have you taken him to the vet to see if there are any medical reasons why he would be acting this way? I know thyroid problems and pain can both cause behaviour or aggression in dogs. It's worth a try. Maybe you can keep him in his crate while you make his food, and place it on the floor before letting him out to eat it. I hope you can find a reason or a solution to his biting, and I know this must be both frustrating and heart breaking for you because you love your baby. Hang in there and keep us posted. Sending prayers your way.
