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!
