Lol, I wasn't sure if you mean your furkids, or skinkids, but it is suggested as part of tough love for parents of teenagers who will not follow the rules. I'm talking about serious rule breaking, and drugs are usually involved. Everything is taken away, but the bare necessities, mattress on floor, blanket, a few clothes for school, and they have to "earn" everything back by following the rules. My point is that while effective on some wild teenagers, I don't think it will work on dogs. I do believe in the concept, "nothing in life is free," and there are many dog trainers who use this method. I don't train Joey because he has bad behavior though, I train Joey because I think he really enjoys it, he seems so proud of himself and so happy during training sessions, and I don't think it's all about the food, I think he really is pleased with himself when he learns something and gets a trick right.
