Eating Habits
This post is not about food freshness, the picture is just to show you how I usually leave Doggy’s food (believe it not thanks the weather in here food remains fresh with the bag open). The room I keep his food is the spare room my place, he’s not allowed there because it’s too messy, it’d be heaven for him, plenty of socks to play with and other things I keep out of his reach. However, I cleaned that room (well overdue) and let him in, I used the recently made bed to relax, watch a movie and take a nap not realizing food bag was open, it wasn’t until I heard the noise of the bag that I thought of it, I jumped off the bed waiting to see the bag empty and Doggy’s belly 3 times larger. Once again he said “in your face”, he didn’t touch the food, he was playing with buoy next to the bag of food and the episode has repeated several times. Doggy’s eating habits are peculiar, from day 1 I would always make him sit and lay down while I was serving his food, he’s not allowed to touch it until I say “eat” and during the first 2-3 weeks I would remove his bowl while he was eating or put my hand between his mouth and his food, I couldn’t do with a possessive dog. Thanks to that, even when he is really hungry he doesn’t jump or shows much excitement when I’m serving his food, of course he gets alert and starts waggling his little tail. Don’t take me wrong, the fact that he doesn’t touch his food doesn’t mean he’s overfed, he then would eat as many liver cookies as you give him, or hot dogs, or sticks at the park, he just respects the bag of food, for now that is.
Wow, doggy must have willpower of iron! If I’d been in the room with the foodbag open, it all would’ve been gone in a flash BOL
We make Tonto sit, down, and wait before he eats too, but if the bag was left open? Forget it. The rules would be out the window.
I still don’t believe mine doesn’t do it, after all he’s a wild beast
Maybe he eats it all but is polite and replaces the old bag with a new one.
That’d be great, his food is too expensive, he should at least try to help lol
LOL True
Wow! Doggy has great manners regarding meal time. Poppy attacks the bag with gusto, but prefers to eat from a food/treat dispenser toy that I fill a million times a day!
that Kong thing keeps Doggy busy all day long, poor thing can’t get the tricks because smarty me bought the tricks too big for the toy, so they never come out lol
Cesar would be so proud of Doggy!!!
Regarding eating habits yes, other things not much lol
Our dogs would empty the bag.
What a good, well mannered doggy he is! Nice work on his training
