BC Crazy - Oh Really!! Haha Lex is one of those dogs that will eat anything and anything is a treat! - I guess I'm lucky in that sense :) She is very cute - probably too cute for her own good! :laugh:

Thanks so much everyone. I really appercaite all your replies! I tried what BC Crazy suggested this morning and it worked! Shes already caught on that if I tell her to leave it she will be rewarded with more biscuts! Im so suprised she ate infront of me this morning! What a quick little learner :laugh: Heres some pictures for you guys to have a look!

Thanks for the advice guys! and yes this is my last resort then if not i will be looking for a professional :)

Thanks heaps! I'll give it a try and see how I go and yes i've heard this is the age they like to test you! This has been my only problem with her so far though, she usually is quite obdedient for her age!

Hey All, I own a beautiful 6 month old border collie named Lexie, she has pretty much been a perfect pup! Up until now.. the past couple of weeks she has started showing food aggression. Prior to that she was fine, i always patted her when she was eating - as instructed in the training books :laugh: but lately when i pat her she growls at me. I did a bit of research and some people say to hand feed her and lead her to the bowl then keep your hand in the bowl. This worked for a couple of days until today - today she just refused to go near the food when i was around, she would only eat when i hand fed her. I then left her outside with her food and she still didnt touch it. Im worried im making the situation worse! Any advice would be very much appreciated!
