Since Buddy was a puppy I would stick my hand in his bowl and mix up his
food when he was 1/2 way finished to get him use to having someone touch
his food and keep him from being food aggressive.
(He did become food aggressive anyhow for awhile but we worked it out.)

Anyhow, today at 4yrs old he will only eat with me standing next to him.
If I leave the kitchen so does he. So I stand there and praise him for eating
then, on his own, leaving some food in his bowl, jump up on me to REQUEST
I mix it up so he can finish it! Twice a day this happens.
Anyone else create this problem? I think it's cute but when I'm not around
and he's at my daughter's he won't eat.
