Food Likes & dislikes ?

[Ingrid Kotzen]

Bonzy has developed this annoying habit of turning his food bowl over when he does not like the food I am giving him. Mostly it lands up in his water bowl, and I have to throw the whole lot away.

I am trying to ignore him when he does this, otherwise he might think it is a game.

I was just wondering if anyone else had experienced this, and if it is just a passing phase ?

I do not give him titbits in between his meals, so it is not as if he is not hungry because I give him junk in between.

I normally take his food away when he does this, and put it down again later, when he normally eats it :confused:

Is just he playing a game of doggy psychology with me :p ?

My Tina tries to do the same when she doesn't like what I give her. She hasn't yet succeded as I always watch her eating and stop her as soon as I see what she tries to do. After 10 or 15 minutes I usually take her food away or cover it... And she usually eats it anyway when she feels hungry. She knows - she will not get anything else :D
