I have two dogs and two cats. If one dog tries to hog the treats/food, I can tell him to "sit" and "wait" so the less forward dog can get his share.
My female cat is the youngest of the bunch, and she is like a tiny land shark who steals food not only from the other cat, but will lay by the dogs' food bowls with her paw in their bowl and swat at them when they try to eat.
I understand how I would manage a dog being rude with food, but since Sally doesn't know "wait" as a command, what should I do to teach her some manners?
She doesn't growl or hiss around food, she just steals it and swats at the others when they get near it I wouldn't call it aggression so much as rudeness haha
Thoughts?
