The key is to have something that is extremely high value for her so that the reward is worth coming to you for.<br /><br />Is Ferguson becoming a senior dog? Our older dogs often became very fickle eaters when the weather got warmer and it drove me nuts. One hint I can give you is to try not feeding the glucosamine for a little while and see if that helps. Our dogs really didn't like eating the powder form and I've gathered that it has a rather bitter taste. We've switched to some from Nu Vet that comes in a chewable pill form and whatever it is, our dogs eat it like candy. I don't know if it will help the picky eating situation or not, but it might. I always rotated what I'd put in with their food to entice them to eat. Especially with Lilac, the same thing never worked two days in a row. So, one day I'd put a tiny bit of Parmesan cheese on top, or a little low sodium chicken broth, or some dog gravy over it. Picky eaters are definitely tough, especially in the morning, so I feel your pain! houndstoothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02159272473651561647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-201851153646652992.post-45696150624806002552014-04-23T10:46:59.206-07:002014-04-23T10:46:59.206-07:00@Hazel: Ha, I think so too!

Hopefully it passes soon! <br /><br />@Sue: Unfortunately, apartment living really doesn't lend us much relevant practice in say, a yard. At home with no distractions she has very reliable recall, but a 20+ acre park full of dogs and smells is a different story, and we don't have much in-between of practice. Hopefully this will change in the next year or two if we get to purchase a house with a yard!Kini_pellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05075569006915822301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-201851153646652992.post-52819918584292060682014-04-23T00:37:27.427-07:002014-04-23T00:37:27.427-07:00I'd work on her recall at home.

Eventually she should want to come to you whatever else is going on just to get that treat.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12576612050864003090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-201851153646652992.post-18545635291442806412014-04-22T19:57:18.910-07:002014-04-22T19:57:18.910-07:00This is so funny, and you do such a good job of &q...This is so funny, and you do such a good job of "sigh"ing, that I about roll on the floor!
