Susan, i agree with you that free feeding might not be an option for my dog at least not right now until he establishes who's the boss. I started with the eating out of the bowl thing. My other question to you is how do u teach a dog to "shake" give paw and drop it.
He's gotten a little worse since we implemented the box covering so he doesn't associate growling with wining over his food so im going to start by eating from the bowl first and giving it a couple days before i approach him. --- In [email protected], "Susan Hart" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > LOL, definitelyâ¦extra treats. But if you could see the bowel these two chow from, goodness, itâs full to the brim (always) and the bowl looks like something a Great Dane would eat out of! But in my house the treats flow freely so I always buy all natural healthier choices. > > > > From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, October 29, 2008 10:35 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [cockapoo] Food Aggression > > > > Usually the weight problem isn't from the food the get and is available to them everyday when you free feed.

They are inactive and donât get regular exercise, although they do have each other to play with. Both are extremely overweight, have joint problems, waddle â" canât run, and have major medical problems. > ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
