Thankfully my dog couldn't careless, not even when the little dog takes his ball right from his German Shepard mouth. But I am curious to know what others would do, I feel the command is a good idea because it can stop them from picking up scraps etc when you have guests over. I also think maybe the owners in the youtube clip didn't correct the dog when it first started. If mine started doing this, it would be a quick no and removing the food straight away.

I don't like how Cesar punched the dog while he was eating for no reason... I am not sure what that was suppose to achieve. How would u train this out of a dog? I feel he could have used a lead to prevent the dog from launching rather than take his food straight away. How do u give postive re-enforcement with a situation like this?

Hi all, I have been training my dog to wait for a command before he eats his dinner. The command I give is "eat" I am wondering is this a bad idea? I recently watched a video where a bad dog bites when taking away food, and he said the owner gave the command "ok" for the dog to start eating. Is this bad? He said it was un-natural? Do people give commands to their dog to wait before eating? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpPNhjD7Mg4

and what did u use?

Hi all, I am looking to try Black Hawk Lamb & Rice Adult Dog for my new 2 year old German Shepard. However someone said the quality has gone down, and they pointed me to this forum. Is this true? I want to ensure my dog has a quality good that helps his bones as he is a German Shepard... maybe I should try something else instead? People have said that they went off it because itching etc... what are peoples current opinions on the black hawk food?
