Ha!! It turns out he just wanted privacy. Last night and tonight I just sat in front of his kennel because he hates it when I close it. When he still wouldn't eat it tonight, I said to hell with it and closed his kennel door. Went to the computer and didn't hear a peep. Went back into the room about 10 minutes later and he was licking his chops and the chicken was gone! Ha, who knew. Maybe this will solve two problems: he'll associate his kennel with good stuff and not be as anxious to be in it with time! biggrin
Yep, probably. I had a cocker that was strange like that, wanted privacy when eating lol.
Cowboy gets really anxious when I bring him to work. He's behaved enough (USUALLY for me to manage it, and that way I can take him out on my breaks, but he has a fit for about 2-3mins when I first leave him in the stock room, and then he'll sit at the door and not touch any toys or chews till I come back. Last week I gave him a raw elk leg bone. For the first time since bringing him to work, I could actually hear him chewing and when I took a peak in he was actually lying down and eating it.
