It will most likely cause problems later, you were given very spot on advice about moving all food away from her bed. It does not matter if you feed them separately or who's food it is. If she decided one day it is HER food, it will all be over.

If she starts resource guarding and going after the other when they are just trying to get their own food, you know she could seriously hurt them.

I could offer advice on leash aggression, we had a rescue dog who suffered from it until just a few months ago, but you need to show you are serious about wanting to train her right, and by denying that she could develop resource guarding you are showing you aren't all that serious IMO

Good luck.

Um ok....Last time I post here. It seem that no one REALLY reads the entire post but that's not a surprise.

Oh no, I read the whole thing. You have a new dog, she clearly has an issue, leash aggression, don't let her develop more.
If you aren't willing to remove the food bowl from beside her bed, something that will take seconds, I have little reason to believe you will devote the weeks, even months to working out leash aggression.

You are setting your dog up to fail. Dogs can, and sometimes will, start resource guarding around their "spot" (in this case her bed. And then you will have another issue to work out. Why take a risk for something that takes seconds to move?

Do your dog! a favor and remove that food bowl from her space.

We are taking this slow & won't take her out too much on the trails until we deal with this. But we do walk her out close to the house & down the street. We have heard that food works great but she knows that a dog is coming down the trail even before we could get a treat out of our pockets. When we brought her home we had let her meet the older dog in the front yard & Daisy (the older dog) had no leash on. Ellie got a little excited but we walked her next to Daisy while she sniffed & did her thing. Now Ellie can walk with Daisy while she's on a leash & it's no big deal.

Any ideas besides food?
Highly recommend the book by Patricia McConnell, Feisty Fido. It's a GREAT tool....geared specifically towards leash reactive dogs. She also uses all positive training methods. It might do you some good to also book a private consultation with a trainer. Find someone that will come to you, and will work with you one on one with your training techniques.
