| Jaeger eats nearly anything, off anything-bowls, plates, the floor, etc etc. I hand feed him (he's not trained to ONLY eat from my hand) for training reasons. He's happier and better behaved when he is working. |

| I would say 'Mommy/Daddy' managing is "normal" for a Yorkie. Mine change their eating habits to suit their mood. Sometimes Mia won't eat until after Brody is all done but she'll share a dish with the kitties. Neither will eat in the kitchen, where their food is, unless one of us is there with them. If we're there, they'll snack briefly so they can be ready to depart when we do. They have now refused to lap their coconut oil from a little bowl...it's out of the palm of Mommy's hand, or off her fingers, or a turned up nose. Their kibble is usually in a Corelle cereal/salad bowl or a very small 'puppy sized' ceramic, flat bottomed slant sided doggie bowl...other foods on a small plate, MY Correlle, of course...and they have no problem with that except as already noted. However, they prefer to eat from my hand...and MY FOOD at that...and drink from MY MUG...and Brody will sit there with a soup mug with slightly, spring water ice gently chilled, Gerber water in it for them...but he will simply "errrrr" and look back and forth between MY MUG and MY FACE to let me know that he wants a drink of MY, straight from the fridge through the door dispenser, well water! Am I wrapped? Uh...yeah...it seems so!

| Lol Daisy does this too! A first she would take the food out of her bowl, put it on the floor, then eat it off the floor. She is getting better at eating out of her bowl now, but sometimes she still puts it on the floor. Sometimes I help her out and just dump the food out of her bowl onto the floor for her, lol... |

| What a wonderful question. Bella also does not like eating from her bowl. If I remove the kibbles and place on the floor, she will then eat away. Lately I have noticed if there is only a bottom layer in her bowl she will then eat from it with no problem. I kind of wonder if it's the noise the kibbles make when her bowl is full that she doesn't like. |
