bowl nosing?
My dog tends to push his dog bowl around before he eats. He's not
unintentionally pushing it as he digs in; this is intentional, nose-to-the-side-of-the-bowl pushing which occurs prior to dining. He'll push it around the room for a little while, and then sometimes walks away, and sometimes chows down. I'm dying to know what this is all about! Any thoughts on this behavior? -jen |

Rupert does the same. His bowl moves half way across the kitchen
before he'll lie down to eat it. Maybe I should just feed him in the middle of the room. |

, clicked their heels and said: Rupert does the same. His bowl moves half way across the kitchen before he'll lie down to eat it. Maybe I should just feed him in the middle of the room. 2 of my dogs eat in drawers. I built them into the base ("kick" or "plinth" area), and when the dogs are done eating, the dishes just slide back out of sight. Of course then I had to go ahead and get a 3rd dog, so it's not quite the same impact as it was! -- Janet Boss www.bestfriendsdogobedience.com |

I will remember that when I add a standard poodle to my family (or when I get my sister's Weimaraner, whatever comes first). I can put the dog food in a drawer where Maui and Cali can't reach it and then I don't have to worry about them eating the new dog's food. |

My dogs are expected to eat all of their food when it's provided. The bowls are empty when the drawers are pushed in. -- Janet Boss www.bestfriendsdogobedience.com |
