Carrie -

I have a question related to your comment. How do you treat a dog when you first come home? When I walk in the door my dog is all over me so I dote on her, should I not do that?

I knew about pack behavior and dominance but didn't think it had much relevance to my spoiled little dog until her eating problem. Since she responded so well to your suggestions on feeding I'd like to understand more about how a pack leader should act!
