Feeding time this morning. I tried the 1 kibble in bowl thing. Seemed to work fairly well. Chubbs laid down 95% without me telling him to (sitting would've been perfectly fine but he went all the way down, even his head!) So we did this for about 20 minutes, then I slowly added a few more pieces of kibble. One time he started to chow down too fast so I slowly moved my right leg. He didn't like that because he stopped eating, got tense, looked back at me and started to growl. Before he could do anything else I stepped on the leash and slowly walked backwards. Then waited for him to relax, see the 'sigh' people talk about. Once I saw that I started looking around my place for a location to put him... a tether thingy. Finally realized I was close to the linen closet. Foot still on the leash, I slowly walked backwards towards the closet. Then used my foot to 'pick up' the leash (no way in h3ll I was bending down.) Once I had the leash in hand I opened the door, fed it thru the crack a little and then closed it. Chubbs couldn't do anything. It took him about 15 minutes but he finally realized I was in control of him and his food. I almost lost patience and put the food away but he sat down as soon as I turned.
I hate that we have to go thru this but what else is there to do? [emoji174] Our first behavioral session isn't until next week. My arm hurts like h3ll, even with pain medication. [emoji22]
On another note, I saw a cute, black/brown Frenchie this evening at PetLife.
