I sat in the middle of the kitchen floor and would only feed them each one kibble at a time and they had to take turns eating it, first from my hand and then I started putting it in their bowls. There we sat, me an Austrailian Shepherd & 4 little dogs. By the end of the meal Aussie was munching on her own food and was not even interrested in what they were doing. That was 4 years ago and they come to vsit several times a month. At meal time they all eat together in the kitchen with no problems. The only thing is that at home she stands to eat and here she's flat on her belly when she eats so that she's eye level with the yorkies!!! |
That's a great story! I will try feeding them like that, the problem is Teddy chows down his food but I'm def going to try.
