Feeding time should ideally also be training time. We often use it to work on manners. I’ve shared a video before of all of my dogs eating together being “released” to get their food one at a time in sets of two. Lately we have been working on all four of them being released one by one when their food is all down in front of them and waiting. There are some jump starts at times and some resets needed, but they are constantly getting better.
This has helped highlight that Finley can be incredibly patient for an 8 month old puppy and Tru is highly food motivated so this exercise is building her attention span when food is in front of her.
