Some good news! (Finally) - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Woo Hoo! So I tested Snickers today! He ate out of my hand (well he took the peices and took them to a different spot to eat them) so I put a flash light in his bowl while he was eating and he didn't seem to mind, so then I put my hand in there, he just took a few peices and moved away, ate them, and came back, like he's lettin the "alpha" eat first

He's doing fantastic with his food agression! I hope that (if there are any traces of it left) in september the professional trainer will make them go away for forever! If they aren't already gone of course, which I think they are

And he has learned to wave, shake, (he already knew five) and he can walk on his two back feet!

And he learned his basic commands, sit, stay etc. He never knew these tricks before because all he was good for was breeding

Just wanted to share the good news!

Aw, this is wonderful news! It's so nice to hear that he is doing well. If he doesn't mind your hand in his foodbowl, I'd say he's doing great with his food aggression. WTG!

That's great! Congratulations on your accomplishments! Now, can you come train my dog! LOL

Marissa101 · 07-20-2009, 08:31 AM

Thanks!

I was really worried in the beginning that his agression would never go away, but it turned out great!

Lol, it was the closest thing to me. I just held it and reached in so that if he did try to bite he wouldn't bite me

He just moved out of the way for it

Congratulations!

I am so happy for you and Snickers. You are a good dog owner. You spent the extra time to help your furbaby be a well-behaved and loving pet.

Yeah for Snickers for learning all those cool tricks and being a sweet dog.
