Alice the Camel Feb 2016 9:42pm, 24 Feb 2016 2,517 posts	0 Alice the Camel Baroness, I was about to add - he's asleep already! I took your advice and sat with him in the utility room for about 20 minutes. When I got up to leave, so did he and we had our usual dash for the door.So I settledhim again then waitedanother5 minutes. This time he lifted his head but couldn't be bothered to race Not a peep out of him. Thank you for the idea - it worked! (at least tonight) I'm off up myself in a minute, when I've finished faffing on here

Cousin has a black working lab, Jess. It made me smile when his colleague turned up with his 3 working pointers, because ... my cousin got out some treats and all the dogs sat in a neat row with Jess in last place, getting their liver nibbles in that order. V impressed with the lab!
LazyDaisy Feb 2016 10:11am, 25 Feb 2016 13,395 posts	0 LazyDaisy polishes Flossie's halo That's excellent, RS, thoigh in those circs Flossie would also wait her turn! She is exercising super-canine control a lot around food at the moment. Bella is still being very picky and slow at eating, and often wanders off away from her dish leaving it half-finished, then returning a few minutes later to eat a bit more. Floss polishes her food off very speedily but just stands and looks longingly at Bella's uneaten food. I don't even have to tell her No, she knows it's not hers and she's not allowed it. Mind you, I haven't tested her resolve by walking out of the kitchen!;-)
Sharkie Feb 2016 10:27am, 25 Feb 2016 8,845 posts	0 Sharkie That is REMARKABLE for Floss! She is a very clever lab. Clever enough to be super good and obedient when you are there - passes gold test, behaves impeccably, leaves Bella's food etc etc...and clever enough to take advantage of when you are not... well I don't need to remind you about fruit cakes and dried fruit and hmmmmmmm.
