Trip only jumped out-off the property one time. Weeks of come to Jesus meetings down the fence line convinced him not to do that again. He can jump all the interior fences he wants. I don’t care.

I love how you pretended to eat the food. I did that with all my dogs when they were young, so that they would never learn to growl at the children or at me if I had to snatch their food away. I believe in being in control since so many of our wonderful dogs and animals are more powerful than we are. Our brains are all that keep us at the top of the food chain! LOL
That’s funny. I have pretended to eat the dog food, with all my dogs. I have always been able to take their food away from them, to prove I’m Alpha.

We did have a problem the first time we gave our LGDs bones (as puppies). The next time, I grabbed the scruff of Deo’s neck & held his head back while I said, “Gentle, gentle”, and slowly put the bone where he could get his teeth on it. I had to pull it back a couple times, ‘cause he tried to snatch it from me. “Gentle, gentle”. Eventually he got the message, and now all I have to do is say “Gentle”, and he gently puts his teeth on the bone. Violet only needed “Gentle” training once, and she has always taken it gently in her teeth. :love
