Feed Yourself Before You Feed Your Dog
Filed Under Quick Tip
Following on from the last post about being the pack leader, here’s a quick tip for you.
Feed yourself before you feed your dog.
In the wild the pack leader gets to eat first. This enables him to choose the finest, tastiest pieces and serves to enforce their status as leader of the pack.
At home you can do the same.
- Sit down to eat your meal before you give the dog his food.
- Never give him food directly from your plate, the pack leader wouldn’t do this in the wild (and not because they don’t have plates!) so neither should you.
- Alternatively, if you have your meals separately from your dog, pretend to eat from his food bowl before placing it on the floor.
- In addition get him to sit before you place food in front of him. This reinforces your status as pack leader as he doesn’t get to eat until you say so.
