The idea apparently is that in the wild top dogs eat first, and their saliva is all over the kill, so you should spit on your dog's food. COME on everyone get over it. I recently has a dog behaviorist at my place and asked his opinion on it and he said that he too has heard of spitting in the food and that it is old school.
As long as you and the rest of the family have eaten before the dog he can smell it on you so then you are establishing the alpha role. My dogs only eat in the morning, so we don't eat before them - I have found if you aren't able to eat before them, then using a program like Triangle of Temptation is really useful, the dog learns they need to look to you for permission to eat and are focused on you and not the food.
Works fantastically. I agree with Anita that there are some corkers of old wives tails out there! Has anyone seen the movie Snow Dogs where they tell Cuban Gooding Jnr that the dog will respect you if you nip its ear? Pumpitdog, nothing against you at all - I am sure the reason your dogs respect you and see you as alpha is because you provide a strong pack order and teach them good manners and training, not cos you spat in its mouth :D.
Never heard of spitting in their mouth, but I do sometimes spit food and Diesel has to catch it But this is for focus and eye contact in obedience. We normally eat before the dogs, just because of routine, not any other reason, and of course if we are going out and are going to be late home, they are fed before we leave so we don't need to feed them when we get back.
I've never heard of that, I just fed my guys their breakfast but they were served in clean dry stainless steel bowls and I mixed their breakfast with a clean spoon from the kitchen. If I spat in it, I'd have to throw it in the bin, I couldn;t feed it to them ;. Share More sharing options Followers 1. Prev 1 2 3 Next Page 1 of 3. Recommended Posts. Guest Posted April 8, Posted April 8, My mum swears by it they always had working dogs on the farm so we decided to try it when we got our first pup My hubby spat in Scrubby's mouth JRT and she does anything and everything for him.
A little girly spit :D I didn't expect it to work as my hubby is Top Dog in our house. So we just presumed that Pumpit would follow the 'chain of command' but No, she is my dog and all my dog Has anybody else ever tried it?
A dog may suddenly drool excessively hypersalivation because smell food or they are excited or stressed. For example, if you are eating a steak in front of your dog, or if your dog gets stressed when they see you packing for a trip, you may notice more drool than normal.
But hypersalivation can also be a sign of medical issues. Some causes of abnormal drooling include:. Motion sickness. If you are concerned that your dog is drooling a lot, or if the hypersalivation is paired with any of the following clinical signs, seek veterinary attention as soon as possible to rule out any medical issues or emergencies:.

Doesn't mean the dog was no good - it just means the Old cockie wasn't a good enough trainer. I avoid spitting at my dog. We both fart at each other - does that count?
