That was the best advise I eve got. She soon started eating when the food was put down and would clean out her bowl.

I have treated every dog that way unless they were sick and needed special food. It has worked all the time.
Thanks for that tip! I too am one of those who will sit and feed my 2.5 lb Franklin one by one if he wont eat on his own But i am a first time momma so I worry! I will try this too!
