A very warm welcome to Pet Talk Doggielovermip.
I agree wth riesfamily, about having Lennon checked
out by the vet to rule out anything medical.
My 9 yr. old female Akita used to have no appitite at all.
But she was border line Hyper Thyroid (think that
is the right one)
and was put on a very small dose of Thyroid medicine.
She has been eating like a pig ever since.
IF it is not a medical problem and it is behavoir, than
I would make Lennon wait in another room or
away from the table where the family is eating.
Everyone must help with this, and under no circumstances
must Lennon win by a family member giving in to him.
So if Lennon begs from your mom or brother,
They need to tell him no and place him
away from the table and ignor him.
(This is done each time he begs)
If Lennon know's not to beg from you he
can also learn not to beg from the rest of your
family. (NO TABLE SCRAPS and everone must be
consistant with his training)
Basic obedience comes in real handy.
Sometimes Rocky will wakes me up in the mornings when he
wants to be fed. If I want to sleep in a bit more,
I tell him to "go to bed" and than I ignore him and
he goes to bed.
Don't be to harsh on poor lennon he is a senior citizen now. lol
