Your bully thinks that the sound of your laptop closing means that it's dinnertime.

Yup, you read right. I unintentionally trained Stig that closing my laptop means that it's mealtime. We let Stig rest from playing about a half hour before dinner as per [MENTION=574]TessaAndSamson[/MENTION]'s article on Bloating, by focusing on other things rather than him. As you can guess, this is the time I go on the comp and check-up on what's new here. Once he realizes this, he usually stops what he's doing and sits quietly beside me and maybe catch a little nap.

So yesterday afternoon, he was taking his 3-hour afternoon nap and suddenly ran towards the kitchen when he heard my laptop close. It was about 4pm so it sure wasn't dinnertime yet .

YAY you read my article LOL It's totally avoidable, so easy to prevent but so serious if it happens so for me its a no brainer, it's always limited activity an hour to an hour and a half after Sam eats.

I'll bet Stig was very upset when he didnt get dinner, did you give him a nice treat to tide him over?

Of course, I think it was the first one I ever read on EBN! Very helpful info, that's when we started doing the break before and after meals.

Yes, I felt bad so it turn out to be a training session with treats.
