Yes, Nyle has continued to do this not taking it the first time thing. It is most odd but I am not worried.

Q over the past week or 2 may go, may wait, no idea what started it all. Also he used to het food with water in with it when he first arrived, then decided he didn't want the water anymore one day. So I tried him dry and straight into it. Nadine LattimoreOn 19 Feb 2014, at 00:24, Melanie Akpotu <melaniemacneill@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:

As the children get older have friendsover the house can be a busy place. Simply put the food down give thecommand and the dog will eat the food in the end. Going to all this lengthcan create problems. I'm now working on my third dog. As someone else said, "a bit of tough love".

If it works, then it isn't going too far. Your dog may be as thick as a brick and not care if an earthquake is in progress while it is eating, but not all dogs are like that.

There might be a time where not everyone can be removed, so simply put the fooddown without getting the hole family out of there. Tell the dog to eat andwalk away, the dog knows what to do and doesn't need all this other attention. Leave the food down and the dot will eat.

First of all, I think something did happen where one of the kids disturbed her while eating. So now I remove every one before she eats. I also tell her once to eat and go do something else. After 3 days of this, this morning she ate immediately after I told her, so I think she will be ok.
