Substitute another evening action. She associates you sitting and watching TV with eating. Maybe take her for a walk and give her one small treat when she gets home.
Alternative is to get a Kong toy and put some peanutbutter inside for her to lick out. It will be difficult convincing her the PB is better than popcorn or ice cream......would for me too. Don't let her run YOUR house. The uprights need to take back control. (Oh, they will continue to challenge you.......that's who they are) |
I think peanut butter is the best. We have even put some in those big beef bones after the dogs have eaten all the marrow. It sure keeps them occupied. |
Sheepies are creatures of habit. For example, Max knows that after we eat dinner, we got out back and kick the soccer ball. God forbid I have something else to do...he loses his mind...or if it's raining...he can't get his head around that we can't do what we did the night before. After we play and we are all tuckered out, I give them ONE milk bone...and they lay down in front of the fan and cool off...Again, if I forget to get the bone or forget to turn the fan on, he "reminds" me. I accuse him of having a pea brain but in reality, he is smarter than me.
I think all of this comes from being a working dog...he has his "job" to do every night. |
How about an ice cube?! Fozzie loves them and it is one thing he is conditioned for. Each morning he waits for me next to the freezer for his cube. I guess there are worse things in life |
Stacy, does Fozzie like koolaid ice cubes? |
