Why does my Dog eat so fast?

Let’s play “Let’s Imagine.” Let’s imagine you’re only days old. You’re hungry. You know where the food is, but so do your eight brothers and sisters. Luckily, there are enough food outlets for… six of you. I guess that’s not as lucky as I thought. And guess what! All eight of your brothers and sisters are hungry, too! Do you want to eat now or in 30 minutes, when one of your siblings might have had their fill and let go of their assigned food outlet? Oh, but if you do wait 30 minutes, you run the risk that the sibling, now happily full, just wants to take a nap while still clinging to that lovely, warm food outlet.

Now you know how your dog felt for the first few months of his life. With limited access to his mother’s nipples, he and his siblings bit, scratched, and stepped on one another in a race to get to them first. Those who didn’t get there quickly enough ate after the rest were finished or, worse, not at all if their mother was tired of lying still and wanted to get up and move around.

After learning that behavior as a baby, he may still think that his food supply is always limited and on the go. This is why he scarfs down whatever you put in his bowl as though he thinks you’re going to try and go after it yourself, and it’s also why he may feel the need to take the turkey off the counter and run.

Other Lessons from Puppyhood

Mum’s not always around to clean up after you – sometimes she needs a nap just to get away from you and your siblings. 

If you’re a fat puppy, you’ll probably be a fat doggie. 

You may think you’re the leader of the pack, but that big, pink guy with only two legs can put you in your place any time.

Mum might put up with a lot, but you’d better watch it when she bites back!
