All what you said concerning dog is true, I know this base on my 1 year experience with our dog, if you are sad dog knows and come to you. The part that interest me most is that if you train them well when it comes to food they can never eat outside their plate. My dog doesn't eat outside it plates then she doesn't collect food from everyone, when I married newly it takes a long time before the dog started eating my food. I appreciate your entry I wish you success
