This Bullie needs some serious behavioral help. :/ How is he now? Does he do this during food or just after he's done eating? If he's still at it I hope you've gotten some professional help for the poor guy. I've watched your other videos and can tell he isn't a mean dog, just has a few bumps in the road.

@angyllaydying Hi, no he is not like this anymore. I found out an idiot neighbour had been feeding him. I have since moved and he now sees me as the pack leader or dominant male. That's my theory anyway. He is 4 this month. He's a great dog. Still very destructive but I think that's due to boredom. He gets lots of exercise and I only feed him dry food as meat or bones makes him agro.

You know i have seen a few minis that can be like this and its quite hard to correct !

Is he still like it and what have you tried so far ??

@EBTerriers

Hi, Yes he is still like this. No as bad I suppose. I have stopped feeding him any red meat, moved his food away from the back door and I make him sit and wait when I put his food down until I give the command "Good boy" which he does but I can't go near him when he's eating or just eaten. I have also changed his food to Coprice which is all natural with no preservatives and has garlic and kelp.

I don't think Youtube is an area where everything needs and explanation. For you information I am a responsible Bull Terrier owner and have owned them for 15 years. The Forum I referred to is based in the UK and is called The Bullie Bar. Also if you look at my other videos before passing judgement then this would be all unnecessary. An apology would be nice.

How IGNORANT are you.? This video is posted on a Bull Terrier Forum for other members to see who have been helping me correct this behaviour. Remove your uneducated stupid comment or I will. It is not for entertainment you idiot.

My wire fox terrier does the same...but he's a very very good chap, other than that :P.

Totally agree with rob1...hope he gets the help he needs :-)

[robj118]

have you tried holding the bowl and letting him eat out of it as your holding it? How does he react when you give him treats and such?

With my Bully I trained her from a very young age to not be aggressive when it comes to food. Whenever I gave her food or a bone to chew I would periodically walk over to her and take it away, then almost immediately give it back so she would realize that even though it was taken away she would still get it back

Desexed Hell Id be pissed too.

@bluegama500 Wow do you really think that??

Dogs and wolves in the wild never resort to hurting each other when dominance is an issue unless it is over territory and the aggressor is not part of the pack. There is never a reason to hit or physically harm a dog over bad behavior (especially if you want him to see you as a leader). They do not understand it and it only makes things worse. I hope you never own a dog.

well this is the 2nd angry bull terrier ive ever seen

[PitbullTheSuperDog]

LOL his gonna choke himself one day. Anyway, how much his weight?

[bluegama500]

So enough with the lovey dovey "its my dog I will never hit him!". He doesn't think like that, only you do.

If you just hit him and he becomes submissive he will just think you have dominated him. In the wild, Wolves take over the Alpha by physical force.
