I've put my hands into my boys' food, as well as taken away treats and such since they were little. Little Reesie needs to know that you are in charge. Sometimes just to make sure that my boys know that if I want something, I get it, I will take away whatever they're chewing on. They will just sit and wait until I'm ready to give it back (usually 10 to 15 seconds or so), then they continue chewing. If Joey or Tank were to growl at me, I would probably pop them on the nose and do the "NO" thing. I really see no issue with flicking their nose with my finger, but that's just me. |
