When I first got Spirit I halfway tried some of the Alpha dog stuff for a while. I never got "tsst!" to work & I believe most of that has been discredited as it relates to dogs. At some point I read something about eating or pretending to eat from the bowl before feeding. I've stopped doing that since I don't believe Spirit is stupid enough to miss the fact that I'm pretending.
Now a days I usually fill her bowl, make her do a simple command, release her, and then I grab my dinner. Does it matter who eats first?
