My little puppy is very food aggressive against humans/dogs. Has anyone else had this problem and if so how did you fix it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

yup.
how long have you had him and where did he come from?
8 weeks is pretty young for "very" aggressive. What exactly is he doing?

I agree with Michelle's questions. He may have had to fight other puppies in his litter for food so he might be used to that. I agree that he should be eating everything out of your hand. If he shows any growling or anything, take it away. Try again in 20 minutes (if the dog was older I'd say take it away and he doesn't get it back that morning/night, but at his age, he needs to eat). Keep trying....don't let him get away with any growling/biting, it'll turn into a bigger problem later

If my memory serves me correctly, this pup was bred by him and was the only pup in the litter, so there was no fighting for food!
