My puppy was born in April 2007. She is scared to eat from a dish or any dish (period) She likes to eat directly from the floor, Recently I purchased a KONG, and I put the dry food inside and she loves to eat from the KONG, see what KONG is

Duchess now loves to eat from the KONG instead of dishes, and as a result she is doing two things at the same time, she is eating by playing, or playing while eating, I even noticed that she is gaining some weight! I feed her what she really likes
http://www.omhpet.com/wellness/dog_w...for_puppy.html Wellness "Just for Puppy" Ever since she started eating the Wellness, she now runs fast in the backyard, she barks at anyone that passes by, and she is becoming very dominant, she is really the boss inside the house and outside the house. Her new set of teeth are beginning to show now too. Duchess is truly very resilient now. I have no idea if all of this is right, but there is no sign of sickness, but rather a lot of barking and running and full of energy, and yet she is scared of dishes, she will only eat from the KONG or the floor! very BIZARE.
