Hi J thank you for such brilliant advice, I had been thinking of a stair gate for the gates but I had not thought of one for dealing with the food issue. She does wait for her own food & she will sit next to someone on the same sofa & not try to take it is just if someone mores towards her & the person that is eating. So she is not all bad but I can see what you mean about her thinking that she only has to bark & people will move out of her way. I have been trying to find out if the training sessions are still held at Collingwood Drive, Great Barr as stated on the web site. Diane, Chris Shannan & Dora wish everyone a very merry christmas & wonderful new year. God bless you all. xxxxx

This little girl really is a sweetie! Despite having a bit of a rough time following her op today, she is pawing for fuss. She is panting a lot but hopefully will feel much better tomorrow x Her coat is absolutely gleaming - she is a real credit to her trainer.

Hi Re food ... if you've got a child gate put her out of the room when you eat so she can see you but can't be so rude LOL I wouldn't put her out and shut a solid door on her as that would be punishment .. I'd suggest you set yourself up to be successful and manage the situation so there's no confrontation and things don't escalate. Food is a huge 'resource' and some dogs can be very protective of food so you need to stop this asap ...before anyone is eating encourage her out of the room with a nice treat (so you can praise her for doing as you ask) then shut the childgate ..when food is taken into the room make sure she doesn't follow you but don't make any contact with her, look at her etc etc Ignore her barking whilst you're eating and it should improve ... check her weight to make sure she's not dropped weight coming into her new home and maybe increase her food by a third (an extra feed rather than big feeds) and maybe add a little pasta to make her feel full. Come to one of the training classes as we all teach food refusal and encourage her to wait till she's given her food(tho don't make that a teasing exercise). If she barks and the perosn moves away she will probably think that every time she wants someone to move she just needs to bark .. and you don't want to encourage that ... J x

Dear Foggie, thank you for the suggestion of puppy nappies down, we have done this & she is using them. Great suggestion. Dora is doing well, the cat did finally come back & appears no worse for the incident. We have established that the growling is due to her being focused on food, I'm open to suggestions. It's when we are eating in the lounge, if someone appears to come between Dora & the person eating she growls & barks.
