No complaints with our girl that i can't handle and she is coming along very well.
The thing i was wondering is when you eat dinner, unfortunately we are not posh enough to have a dining table ;) so it's a plate on lap job, but we are eating with a big head glaring at our food.
I am using the nilif approach and she gets it after 5 mins or so, i was wondering if one day it will just click and she'll not bother us at all?
I know you should feed the dog after yourself to establish the pack order, but i'm finding it easier to feed at the same time so to get her out our face for a bit.

We feed him after exercise and after us. As soon as he sees the table set he goes into his basket and lies down until we finish. We just ignored him totally until he went into the basket to find his bone thoughtfully put there as a reward and it did take time - bout 2 months I think. Personal choice in the end I feel. :)
