So, I have determined to get on the bowl-free bus and make PickPocket a no-bowl dog. That's right, little buddy. Welcome to your California DogMom lifestyle.

Of course, up until now he has been doing fine. He's pretty smart- he picks up commands in just a few sessions, as long as treats are involved. He's been getting some of his food in a Kong for a couple of weeks, so today we stepped it up to the Tug-A-Jug. Man, my dog thinks I'm an asshole. He can't figure it out- he's given up. I keep showing him, but he just eats what falls out and then looks dejected when I stop.

Has anyone else tried this route? Is the Tug-A-Jug too much too fast? It's supposed to entertain him, not depress him!

If I was Pick, I wouldn't be able to respect a food dispenser named "Wank-A-Boob" either.

Obviously he has no Pavlovian sensibilities. Fair play to him.

What is the premise behind a bowl-free pup? Working for the noms? I've always used a food bowl and a Kong for treats...

We used the tug-a-jug for one of our dogs, and though she was whip-smart about everything else, she could never figure it out. However, our dumber than a box of rocks mastiff had no problem figuring it out, he grabbed ahold of it and whipped it across the room.

It took my boyfriend's dog a long time to get used to a food dispenser that was similar to the tug-a-jug. He is used to it now but prefers another kind that is like an activity ball with food in it. I think it's called the kibble nibble. It works really well. I thought it would end up leaving the food kind of scattered around but he eats them as soon as they come out.

"Homeless or Tenured" was fairly epic in Berkeley yesterday. The winner was a woman with a post-electrified hairstyle who was walking down the street having a loud academic conversation with no one visible and no cell phone in sight.
