Homework plan:
Phase 1:
- Split feeding into 4 parts
- Wait until your dog displays settled and relaxed body language
- Once you see settling body language, verbally mark the behavior and put down your mini-meal
Phase 2:
- Continue the exercise but interrupt each bowl of food and toss your dog a couple pieces of hot dog.
