A basic impulse control exercise that definitely helped my own dog. If you have a dog that is pushy at meal times try this. Get them to sit as you put the bowl down, if they move bring the bowl up only once there sitting release them to eat. Lunar has done this for over a year she knows the drill, and the down is now automatic. I don’t require eye contact just that she waits patiently for a moment till she’s released with a verbal cue.
