[blparent] daughters, dogs and dinner

[Jodie and Kahlan]

Hi. Chris and I have a two year old daughter and a two year old dog, 
and the daughter keeps giving the dog treats. We keep Falla on tie down 
while I’m cooking dinner and we’re eating. We used to keep her in her 
crate, but the crate broke tonight when I was trying to get Kahlan out 
of it. She likes to unzip it and get in there with Falla. We’re going 
to solve that by getting her a hard crate with an actual door instead 
of zippers.

But we had Falla on tie down and Kahlan throws her food on the floor. 
She threw it straight to Falla. She didn’t lunge for it or try to take 
it from her; Kahlan threw it to her. She’s as far away as she can get 
and still be in the same room. We want to keep her in the same room 
because she’s very food oriented and we want her to know that it’s not 
OK to take the food and we want Kahlan to know it’s not OK to give it 
to her, or throw it on the floor at all for that matter. Does anyone 
have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
