The best way to a dog's heart is through his stomach

We've been feeding Jammer by hand.  Our trainer recommended it to address the resource guarding problem, and I've seen it in some guidebooks as well.


I guess the theory is that he'll learn that we're the yummy food ladies we're in charge of when he gets to have things. He gets each piece of kibble when we hand it to him.



At first I thought it seemed really irritating and time-consuming, but it has become one of my favorite things to do with him.


Maybe it's the leo in me -  I love having his adoring little face look at me expectantly, waiting for that next piece of kibble.


Of course, in these pictures, I've caught him giving the same adoring looks he gives to me - but to the babe!


Traitor.


Sigh.  I just can't bring myself to hold it against him, though.
