other two females. He will lash out at them and actually make physical contact.
It only happens AFTER the morning meal and the rest of the time everything’s
fine. I think I have finally isolated the problem….first of all “I
am the trigger” and second of all “the treats”. I was giving
them a treat “after the morning meal” and he is <u>VERY</u> food
aggressive. It would even happen when I would go into the kitchen for another
cup of coffee. Because I was standing at the counter, he assumed a treat was
going to be dispensed and would start a fight. I isolate him when feeding him and
there are <u>NO</u> more treats after the meal. The fights have stopped. Hopes
this at least gives you some ideas….search for a trigger/s.<o:p></o:p></span></font></b></p>
