He marked the Hubby!

I wouldnt put to much stock in what CM says. In Austria if anyone is caught using his methods they can be fined up to 15000 euro as he and his shows have been banned. bout time wish more countrie s would follow suit, some of his methods are down right dangerous.

Now I'm off to search the forum for solutions for a picky eater. I'm starting to feel like a servant around here! LoL

Ive switched foods a few times in the 8 years I've had my boys and they are on FROMM now, I mix the fish & the duck, they LOVE it! I cannot tell you how much they love it, it's amazing! My Dex is small at (now) 6.4lbs and has never been a big eater, and he is at his bowl the second he senses I'm going to feed him. Its kind of funny! LOL

Fletcher has marked me 2x in his life, once when I was looking in the fridge for something to take to work for lunch. Another time when we were outside at my house and I was talking to a group of people, he just came over and peed on my leg/foot! Little brat. The only thing I can think of is he didn't like that my attention was not on him. But many other times over the years when my attention was not on him he has NO peed on me. So I don't know!

Oh this topic has made me laugh! One of our rescues is a marking dog and when he first came the little sod hopped on the coffee table and marked my drink!

In all seriousness marking can often be a worried behaviour, a way of avoiding conflict and the dog relieving personal tension. It is certainly not the dog trying to assert himself as the boss. That theory is far too simplistic.

I agree with Austria, Sulamk - that man should be banned everywhere
