My pup is 13 months old. Whenever I give him his food hes happy to eat but if I pet him or touch him while hes eating he immediately stops eating and lowers that part of his body away from my hand, he shows no agression of any kind and it seems to be some kind of fear behavior even though he has no others. I pet him and play with him all the time and it never bothers him, only when he gets his food. Anyone know whats going on here? have you seen this before? when he was younger it never bothered him used to be able to touch him while he was eating and it didint phase him at all.
