Welcome to a blog about my experience as a dog owner. While I intend to focus on agility, that will by no means be the only topic!

Starving Dog?

Sadie has recently become a bit of a b____ about food. She acts like she's starving to death all the time and gets positively hyper at the first hint of treats or kibble. The first symptom was when she began jumping on me to get at her dinner bowl at mealtimes. Then she started shouldering Maxwell away from his meals, since he eats much slower. That very recently became a sudden lunge-and-snarl down the hall to steal his food. I now stand guard to interrupt the lunge. You've never seen a dog look so "Darn, I got caught! Sorry?" than at the moment she halts her lunge.

What changed? And how to reverse the behavior change?
