Would you move your dogs food while they were eating?

For example, you realise there is something you need out the cupboard behind themWould you move the dogs food bowl while eating or wait until they have finished?

you should wait tell they are done. they might get mad and bite u if u do.

Probably just wait since it only takes my dog a couple of minutes to eat her food.But If I needed it urgently then I'd move it to somewhere she could still eat it.She doesn't mind me touching her food bowl but some dogs do.

If your dog will not allow you to move their bowl while they are eating, there is a training issue. I consistently touch them, their bowls, ect from the time they are puppies to prevent any food aggression. If they are in my way and I need to get by, I will move their bowls and they don't have any issues with it.

I would wait until they are finished.

Cleveland 12/29/11Aaahauaahh,.!?!! It probably would be alright,.! Most Dogs would not mind very much,.. Exceptfor a few having an issue,.?!?Cats..however,.be different,.?!

i have taken food out of my chows mouth while eating, so yes i will move food

It depends on the dog, some have food aggression and can become violent if their food is disturbed. Ask yourself, "would I like it if someone moved my food so they could get something?" It's better to just wait until they're finished.

I would move the food bowl with no problem. In fact, I do it all the time as my pantry cupboard/closet IS right be the food and water bowls.

I would move them but my dogs are not resource guarders. they wouldn't care.

If I had a need to, yes I would. My dogs would have no problem with this.

No way. My dog is a very nervous one, she has had bad experiences in her past and is very aggressive with her food.

I would move it. I am not afraid of my dogs and they are not food aggressive. I would make them back off the food so I can get to it then I would slide it the bowl over and get what I want and move on.

You mean MY food, yes, I would as the dog owns nothing. I do it when I need to, the dog is in the way, etc, but, most of my dogs eat in their kennels so its not really something I deal with daily. Hope I helped.

I would Absolutely move it. My dog is being taught that humans can touch his food bowl anytime. Sometimes I hold it up, sometimes I add meat or cheese to the bowl. The point is that he is not aggressive towards his bowl and trusts that his humans are always looking out for him and that he will never go without.

if it is a new dog and doesnt know u very well the absoluty no or you might get bitten but if its a dog that you have had for ages then itl trust u so then you can i have one very old dog and a young dog but because my young dog knows me i can do anything and she wont bite sometimes old dogs can be a bit mody so be careful

Yes I'd move the bowl. And in fact, at least once a week I make it a point to walk between my dogs and their food *while* they are eating, forcing them to back out of the way for a few seconds. Just a small but frequent reminder to them of who is the Boss. Though I wouldn't bother to do that with dogs that didn't have such stubborn, dominant personalities, because they wouldn't need it.

I would move the bowl while he was eating.

I can pick up and move both my dogs dishes while they are eating with no problem. They just follow me to where I take the dishes and wait for me to put them down.

I'd move the dog's food bowl out of my way.Not one of my dogs would bite me for doing so. I could put my face down by them and they wouldn't care. I don't even tolerate them getting snappy with each other - and they typically don't.
