My younger blue heeler dances around and bounces off of me at feeding time, so we're beginning a series of "sit . . . stay . . . . shhhhh! . . . sit . . . " etc. sessions. It didn't take her long to figure out she has to actually stay put once I'm putting her bowl on the floor (until all dogs are told they can "eat" and dive in), but now we're working on the not bouncing off the walls before that bowl part of the routine. If I'm consistent she'll catch on quickly enough, and whoever ends up feeding her for me if I'm out of town on occasion will thank me. :)
