> Hi, all,

> I do this on occasions by touching his head while he has his mouth in the 
> bowl eating his food.
> Second part when I do go further is putting my hands in his food just at 
> the top to see how he reacts when eating upon filling the skin on the 
> edges of his mouth.
> He still ate his food and good reaction came out of it.
> I did tell him good boy for which he really was.
> Dale has also done this with him too upon bending down to take the bowl 
> from him which Odie showed no negative reaction.
> Of course, this was something I started doing in the beginning when I 
> would be matched with the dog, but only did it upon returning home.
> I know some people would disagree or not recommend it, but it all depends 
> on how the dog feels about it.
> I have done this with all of my guides.
> It will happen with the next dog as well.
