[nagdu] behavioral test

[Hannah Chadwick]

Bibi,
I've also done that and Princess doesn't seem to mind either. When a dog
comes near her during feeding, she growls at them. I've worked on that a bit
as well, and she does listen.

Hi, all,
Just this evening, I did a behavioral test with Odie, which involved him and
his dog food.
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.
Bibi, husband Dale and Odie
