He won't eat from a bowl of any sorts so he's got his own plate that I got from a charity shop (so the mother in law doesn't think it's one of ours and put our food on it). Odd little creatures aren't they!!

With Asbo tho, I am afraid I would take the no nonsense approach...You get what you are given, in your bowl, you have 20 mins...you dont eat then tough.

Surprising how many don't like stainless steel bowls that do and it's usually because their tags keep hitting the metal dish and they don't like the noise

daph can get away with it for now but after she's done feeding pups I will go back to that rule with her.

i hear alot of people say toy dogs are fussy, and when we had little ones in the kennels they could be right pains. i always said mine werent going to be like that, and i do do the half hour rule.. but unfortunately at the minute i cant do this with daphni so she gets away with it

Half an hour!!!! If they wander away from their bowl i pick it up and offer it back, if they turn their
noses up it gets binned and they are offered a meal at the
next mealtime. I haven't always had FCRs and I have done it for years
