No flaming, but I'd be very interested to hear HOW you do this?  I have very
limited understanding of clicker training, have only ever seen it used
successfully in training a new behaviour, not un-doing an existing vice.
Not denying it can be done, but would like to hear how you do it?


Personally, my response to food aggression is simple : if you don't show me
manners, you don't eat, mate.
