[quote=gsicard]Good point Lars. Of my 4 CO's even if they have the food in their mouths I can tell three of them to "drop it" and they wll. Jessica - would you give us an update on how this has evolved.[/quote] Hi Gary, With both our dogs, we can tell them to "leave it" and they will not touch whatever they were told to leave. For practice I can line both her front legs with food when she's laying down and tell her to leave it. She looks away, and eventually will get up and walk away, but will not touch it. Brooke is still the boss, I think that's the way it will stay. They live so peacefully together, never have faught. Take care, Jess
