We do for the most part eat before she gets her food, except in the morning when I am getting ready for work. I do make her 'sit' and 'stay' then 'go' then she gets her food. She is also allowed on the furniture, so I will put a stop to that today! I will also try not to have a reaction when she nips me.

The whake on the nose thing, I have tried that but I can't reach her. For the most part we do go through doors before she does, but at times she pushes her way through.
