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

Hi all,
Just an update. 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.
Steph
