Just an INTRO, an “ENTREE”, of the FOOD AGGRESSION Rescue Rehab that we have been COOKIN’ up 😋
As SIMPLE as this may L👀K - it wasn’t EASY to ACCOMPLISH: What is SIMPLE isn’t always EASY. Diamond gets SUPER EXCITED about MEAL TIMES - her “ENGINE” gets “revved up”, TRIGGERED, esp by the FOOD BOWL - the FOOD BOWL being her primary TRIGGER of her FOOD AGGRESSION; “POSSESSION”. She’s GREAT & GENTLE with TREATS - as TREATS are not in her “POSSESSION”.
We have spent weeks (AFTER teaching & STRENGTHENING a STRONG FOUNDATION of HEEL & SIT-STAY) utilizing her HEEL & SIT-STAY to APPROACH the “DINNER TABLE” CALMLY & to WAIT PATIENTLY…until we say “Grace” (release command to eat).
This STRATEGY has been an INTERMEDIATE phase while she has been learning & strengthening a SUPER STRONG, rock solid, FOUNDATION to “PLACE” - which I will utilize to teach her to SURRENDER & DEPART from her FOOD BOWL (while eating) when I APPROACH - simultaneously sending her to “PLACE”.
We are now at this PROGRESSIVE PHASE - of combining & utilizing “PLACE” at DINNER TIME - stay tuned folks…
Building a strong FOUNDATION is the KEY to SUCCESS: We are building our “house” - our training - dinner manners - on ROCK not SAND. - Matthew 7:24-27
