Hi all, we have a 6 YO male (neutered) OBESE cavalier at the moment. He was taken to a shelter b/c he is food and toy aggressive, and the shelter called me.
He is fine if I feed him by hand, but is *very* aggressive about his bowl (even empty!) and his bed, he has snarled and growled visciously (it scared me) at both the dogs and myself. Plus, he hates cats so my cats are now in prison in a guest room in our house.
Question #1: Any advice for helping him with the aggression?
Question #2: How do you keep from feeling like your entire household is walking on eggshells when you have a foster? (This is only my second one, so I'm a foster newbee). Should I crate him for a few hours during the day so my cats can get out and my dogs can act like normal or would that make his issues worse? I feel guilty separating him, but I'm feeling anxious over the whole situation and not sure if fostering is for me.
