sleeps I have a service dog... when he jumps, knee him. It will only take one or two times... do it directly... otherwise they think your turning away is part of the game. My labrador will always eat... no worry there... I have to put food down and no more... but since he is now old, I don't wish his stomach to turn so he gets his daily rations in 2 meals... plus some small treats and chew chips to keep his teeth going
