Neither. I trained him to only expect to be fed from his bowl. So, after dinner, he wpuid get occasional tidbits in his food bowl once we had finished
eating. And even then, I put
him in a Sit-Stay while
scraping the food into his bowl
so he wouldn’t be knocking
me over as he rushed the
bowl.
When you’re dealing with a
German Shepherd weighing
over a hundred pounds, you
realize the necessity for proper
training very quickly. And it
makes life so much more
pleasant for both dog and
people.
It’s been a good many years since I’ve had a dog, and I must confess that one of my cats used to sit and faithfully follow with her eyes every morsel of food from my plate to fork to mouth. Never wavered her glance. You’d think she was at a tennis match.
She was the only cat I had who was that extremely food obsessed. And of course I indulged her. Have you ever known a cat to eat tomatoes? She would if I gave her a small piece. She was a real nut :)
