...he is eating~? Mine does. I've trained him to ring a bell I put on the door and lately he is ringing that and when I go try to open it, he goes back to his food bowl crunching away. This goes on 2-3 times.

Oh that sounds so neat. I like to do training during meal time too. I use all Joey's breakfast for training, and half of his dinner. It's just so much fun to watch him perform for me. Before he would eat his regular meal, and than I would use treats for training, but the vet said that he was chubby, so we stopped that, and now I just use his regular meal.

...at mealtime. I do play games with him for treats. I had him in summer schoold as they called it, and we learned "tricks for treats" this summer. It was a dog-gone good time. Pun intended.
