When I first adopted my perkins he was 4. I has no idea of his history. My previous dog would just go and lay down whenever I was eating. I always sit on the sofa and watch tv while I eat. Well Perkins was the complete opposite. He jumped up on the sofa and got right in my face. Apparently he had a bad habit!!! I stood up and made him get down. I would not let him back up on the sofa until I finished eaten. It was a battle and I could not enjoy my meal. I decided that I would fix my meal and then fix his. I gated him in the kitchen to eat while I enjoyed my meal on my sofa. It didn't take long for him to realize that he was not going to get my food and to just get over it. LOL. |
