I've heard others say this also. It is not a habit one should get into. He might believe that is the only way he is allowed to eat. I think I would try some different things. maybe put the food on the floor, or on a plate or in a different place. or put it down and walk away. if he sees you as pack leader, which he should, he might be afraid to eat if you are watching.
if all else fails, ignore him, he'll eat if he gets hungry enough. |
