I know, I know! I tried to change Hannah's nighty cookie from a BONZ to something smaller. Miss Hannah threw a fit. Barked and barked. If it wasn't a BONZ, it wasn't a nighty cookie! I gave in, which meant she got the small treat and the BONZ. Other than that we are doing okay. She is accepting of the smaller meals, but we've only cut those down by about a quarter. But we pretty much are eliminating all kinds of training treats...who am I kidding anyway with the training? And most days we are going for a nightly walk, which she loves. The other night, my husband and I went out and came home past the dogs' dinner time. I asked Hannah, "Do you want to eat or go for a walk?" She ran to the door. I was really surprised. Of course she got fed later but it was encouraging to know that food wasn't her first priority. However, this puts the onus on me to increase the length of the walks.
