Learn this tip from my colleague, It works wonderful with my puppy Lucky.
The tip is. before you give the food bow to your dog, you take something beside the food bow and eat infront of him, than don't say anything, just simply put the food bow on the ground, step away. after 15 mins, no matter how much he eat, take the food bow away, if your dog doesn't eat enough, he has to wait until next feeding time.
This reinforce your "top dog" position. top dog always eat first, and if a dog doesn;t eat quick in a pack, he will go hungry.
Before I use this tip, my Lucky only eat from my hand, and sometimes don't show interesting on his food at all. now, he always finish his food in 10 mins and he respect me much more. When I eat, he always look and wait, never jump on me unless I asked. |
