in eating or at least he’s not willing
to work for his food. By removing it
before or immediately once he shows
disinterest, you will quickly train him
to become a good eater. You’ll also be
teaching him that you are in charge of
the resources; they aren’t just at his
whim and free.
• Once Fido’s regularly excited to get
his food, which he shows by running
to the machine when you take it out
and staying focused on the machine
during the entire game, then your
training sessions will be much more
efficient.
2.8 Won’t Fido Lose Too
Much Weight?
Some people worry that their dogs
will waste away or will dislike them for
withholding their food. Cutting back or
missing meals for a few days won’t make
much of a difference in weight. In fact, if
Fido’s not willing to work for his meal, then
he’s telling you that he’s really not that
hungry. He’s just eating because the food
is available and there’s nothing better to do.
According to the fifth annual nationwide
survey conducted by the Association of Pet
Obesity Prevention (APOP) in 2011, 53%
of adult dogs are overweight and 21.5
percent of all dogs were obese. Because
dogs don’t walk around naked or wear
bikinis — rather they hide their fat under
their fur — it’s easy for the excess to go
unnoticed. That means that if Fido actually
looks fat, he’s probably very heavy or even obese. Even if you're not concerned
about how the extra weight looks, you should consider developing a plan to
become more healthy.
2.9 Body Condition Scoring
To tell whether your Fido’s fat, look at his waist and feel his backbone, hips, ribs
and skin. From the top, his waist should curve in like an hourglass right after the
rib cage and from the side you should see a clear line where his last rib demarks
the start of his abdomen. On short-haired dogs, you should even see the last one
or two ribs. If you put your hands on the rib cage and run them from the shoulders
One way to make dog food a high-demand
item for your dog is to first put him on
meal feedings.
Put Fido on two daily meal feedings with
half of his daily allotment in the morning
and half at night. Put a measured amount
down in the morning. If he turns his nose
up or eats a little and then walks away,
remove the food and put it back in the dog
food bag. He’s telling you he doesn’t really
want it, so let him wait for his next meal.
He has lost this portion for that morning.
Repeat the process at dinner and for
additional meals if needed. If everyone in
the household holds out for up to several
days and refrains from giving treats in
between, then even the dimmest Fido will
quickly learn that he’d better eat what’s in front of him or he’ll have to wait for
the next meal.
For those who feel guilty about going so long without giving Fido a chance, you
can re-present his food 15 minutes after you’ve removed it to see if he’ll eat it
immediately at that time. If he removes his head before he’s finished the meal,
then remove the food again.
For Fidos that do eat their kibble immediately but not with much gusto, cut the
total meal down to ¾ of the normal amount for several days until Fido clearly
enjoys his food and then start training.
Once Fido’s regularly excited to get his food, you can start on the Treat&Train™
system training Games 1-5.
If Fido's not willing to work for his meal, it generally means he's not really that
hungry. Of course you should also evaluate other reasons why he might eat his
food for when you provide it free, but not when you want to use it during training.
For instance, during training sessions he might be confused, afraid, ill, or the
environment may be too distracting for him.
2.7 For Dogs That Are on Meal Feedings but Eat
Without Gusto
For Fidos that do eat their kibble immediately but not with much gusto, or that
eat their kibble except when slightly distracted or who are overweight, try the
following:
• Cut the total meal down to ¾ of the normal amount for several days until
Fido clearly enjoys his food and then start training. Once you start training
if he ever seems bored or gets distracted, remove the Treat&Train™ system
and stop the game until you feel like playing again later in the day. If he loses
interest, even for a short instance, he’s telling you he’s not that interested
If you usually leave Fido’s food out
all day or for hours on end, Fido
may have learned that food will
always be there at his beck and
call so there’s no need to rush to
eat it.
According to the fifth annual
nationwide survey conducted by
the Association of Pet Obesity
Prevention (APOP) in 2011, 53% of
adult dogs are overweight and 21.5
percent of all dogs were obese.
For Fidos that do eat their kibble
immediately but not with much
gusto, cut the total meal down
to 3/4 of the normal amount for
several days until Fido clearly enjoys
his food and then start training.
Once Fido’s regularly excited to
get his food, you can start on the
Treat&Train™ system training
Games 1-5.
If Fido’s not willing to work for
his meal, then he’s telling
you that he’s really not
that hungry.
