i have a purebred english mastiff puppy. she is a female apricot. i got her when she was 5 1/2 weeks old and now she is 5 months old. i am 5'4" and she is as tall as my knees and weighs around 60lbs. she eats about 7-8 cups of food a day in 2 different feedings. 1 morning and 1 afternoon. her name is morrigan and she has bad food agression. when any animal or person comes within her vision, she snaps. she growls, snarls, lunges, shows teeth and will even bite. she has bit me twice and my significant other once. she has been like this ever since i got her but not as severe. i have tried several methods. i have tried smacking her(which i know now makes it worse), pulling on her collar, pulling on a leash, putting my face in her bowl, and biting her. nothing seems to work.
she also is a very hyper puppy. she jumps all over the place, plays, runs around. she only stops when shes in my lap or in her crate.
now, she is a very intelligent and muscular puppy. she knows sit, stay, lay, come, stop, and roll over. she has no problems with walking on a leash, she doesnt pull. i do need some advice on her food aggression. also, why is she hyper? mastiffs are generally lazy. my girlfriend's mastiff is 3 weeks younger and does not act like this at all. i cant wait to see what people write.
