If they tried to reach for it, I would pull it away and say "Leave it." They aren't allowed to have a treat or eat their food until I say "okay." When on walks, I see them reaching for a rock, twig, or leaf and say "Leave it" and they walk right by it! It took awhile, but it works!
Rottnvegas: Is this technique reliable when you are not around? Like if I walked up to your dog and offered it a piece of steak would it take it if you weren't around? Just curious, I don't think this addresses Odonoghue's problem. '
Odonoghue, there is a lot that goes into your dog refusing food. Is there a protection trainer in your area, if so, you should contact them and have a professional get your dog up on this necassary training? You will need a helper to do this properly. Good luck |
