Coming in late to this thread so apologies if people have already said
this.
I read Steph's original post some days ago on my phone, but not any of the
responses.
I did wonder if anything happened while she was eating her food, which
upset
her? I have no idea what kind of thing, as all dogs are different, some
more sensitive than others, but for instance, did someone start shouting
about something or making a lot of noise, which she might have associated
with thinking she was being told off for eating? It's just a thought. Or
did any of the children go near her and disturb her? I am sure Steph is
very sensible about such things, but it seems rather odd with her being a
Lab, and also eating fine up till now. I did have to tell my dog twice to
eat his food yesterday, which for him trust me is absolutely a first!! I
just don't think he heard me the first time, but that is flabbergasting in
itself as he sits poised in front of his bowl looking right at me for the
go
ahead!!

I put Wren's food down and just get on with whatever else I'm doing,
usually
chopping veg for the guinea pigs, so I'm standing with my back to her. Its
not deliberate to stay in the kitchen, just when I always feed, but once
I've indicated she can stuff her face I just ignore her and get on with
other things.

I agree with this.
If you hover over her when she eats, you will only teach her to learn to
have your presence all the time as she eats.
If there are other signs of a problem, like runny poos or vomitting, then
a
vet visit is in order.
Otherwise, tough love.
