I vibrated my dogs shock collar while it was eating my other dog’s food and now it won’t eat. How do I fix this problem?

Why am I relating this? Because the biggest one developed food aggression. Starving made an indelible impression on his undeveloped but still smart little Poodle brain- he’s still the most lovable & human oriented guy you’d ever meet.

*Oh, & throw the shock collar away.

As for fixing it, since I’m not a licensed trainer & have so far avoided pulling bonehead stunts with my dogs that would create more & possibly worse problems, all I can suggest is to put the zapped dog & some really yummy food in a closet or other small room with a door, shut off the light & leave him alone for an hour or 2.

A2A: Don’t use shock collars. Especially for something as moronic as this. Sorry to be blunt, but I honestly can’t think of a lazier, more backfiring way to try to solve a problem that can be dealt with in an easier way- & you did ask me specifically. Aspies, in case you’re not aware, are blunt, especially when a lack of critical thinking & laziness is detected. 🤷‍♀️

Thats all I got. Maybe someone with more training & experience can suggest something else. ❤️🐩

But guess what? You will always have to feed them out of sight of each other. I have a rescued Miniature Poodle. I got him & his 2 brothers out from under a horse trailer when they were 3 weeks old. Their mom was starving & they were blue & limp. I thought sure they’d die, but I’d taken a syringe with me & got Gatorade down them, then puppy milk replacer until their mom got in back in enough health to lactate again.

Republican Trump is a billionaire, president, won't be held accountable for multiple felonies, and pretty much has whatever he wants. So why is he always whining and crying about stupid, pointless stuff? Is he incapable of happiness?

I tried everything I could find to break him of this attitude (except what you did). The only thing that keeps him eating his own food (& not growling & barking at the others), is to feed him in his own crate, with the door latched, out of sight (I use a cardboard partition to block his view) of the rest.

He will forever be that way, because he’ll be 10 this October & I don’t have the $ to consult a behaviorist or a professional trainer. I didn’t create the situation leading to this (an elderly BYB that died did 🤬) & it works for me- so be it.

You shouldn’t even be in the house making any kind of noise so he can detect you’re there. Just leave, & leave him alone. Probably should even take your other dog with you- go on a walk or something.

Can you fly an American flag in the UK in your own private property there? What is the UK’s government stance on that? And if yes, do you also have to fly the UK flag or the American flag can fly solo?

If separating him & hunger doesn’t overcome this pretty quick (improvement with in a week or 2), you may have to shell out some cash to consult/see a veterinarian.

When you get back, check to see if he ate it. If so, good progress & keep doing that for awhile. Might take a month or more until you can let him eat outside the closet, but you’re still leaving him to himself to eat. If it gets to the point he’s comfortable with you being there, great.
