I'd put a big plastic placemat under Brandy's dish & let him get used to eating his food like this in front of the sink. Then I'd gradually move the placemat away from the sink area to a more convenient place.
I'd also make sure that the new eating place was against a wall or piece of furniture...Brandy may feel his eating is safe & secure when there's something solid in front of his dish. I'd also put his water bowl on the placemat in the new position. Whenever he's given a treat..I'd put it on that placemat, too.
