Hi Rory, it's all in the technique. This is how you should do it. (1) Stare at the piece of toast (2) Stare at the human (3) Glance back and forth between the toast and the human (4) Drool on the human (5) Just jump into the human's lap (5) catch toast in your mouth as it flies up (6) Run or use the express wt* method, get Stella to jump at the human, distracting the human and you grab the toast. Remember to share with Stella.
You should have told him that Resistance is Futile. That always gets my peeps. Don't give up... there is always.. TOMORROW's Toast to pursue. No Worries... You WILL get some.
Ok mate, here's the trick: Move slightly forward, lean over the plate of toast & human and then DROOL! You've gotta be quick though. When human jumps up in disgust, grab the toast! Hehe! Deccy
Yep, Max would agree it's all in the eyes. If that doesn't work, step forward, quick shake of head give maximum projection of slobber. If well timed it will land on the toast and they have absolutely no alternative than to give it to you.
Admittedly we don't sit and stare while our humans eat, our human get sure grumpy - she has never given us food from her plate! *Humph!* She says it encourages begging ;)
The deal we negotiated with mama is that if she's eating at the table, we don't beg or even drool and we don't get peep food. But if she's eating in the living room [like your hu-brother with the toast], all bets are off. We crowd around and drool and beg and we always get some of whatever is on offer. Sadly, mama almost never eats in the living room.
It works real good in this house with every dog I have ever had!!! I just guess I'm easy!!! Keep trying!!! Happy was watching food being fixes and she takes that very seriously!! Zoie was watching a squirrel and she takes that very seriously!!! lol
Ah ah ah poor Rory, you still have to learn the technique... Apply yourself you will see that the results will start to appear sooner than later!!!! How are you all? How is your human? Well, from what I see you and Stella are really well :) glad to see that! ps my human says to say hi to your human Ciao Lucille
Hee! Hee! Rory - I've tried that trick too...it's particularly effective if you add some drool as well - especially if you let the drool trail down from your mouth, over their knees! :-)
Rory! Where is the pathetic line of slobber? That really enhances the effect.
ReplyDeleteSlobbers,
Mango
I agree with Mango, you should have really poured it on with some slobber! LOL!
ReplyDeleteIt always WORKS for me! My humans are powerless to my "pllleeaassee, I'm hunnngggrrryyy" face! Maybe you need some lessons?
ReplyDeleteTail Wuggles, Rubie.
I agree with Mango too ! slobber is missing, Rory! hehehe

ReplyDeleteRory, I thought you were doing a good job and for sure you would get some toast. Do not give up, I think some of these tips will work for you!
ReplyDeleteYour friend,
Murphy

Keep at it my woofie friend and they will take notice .. Hugs GJ xx
ReplyDeleteCome on Rory, I'd just jump on him:)I don't think he would argue with yea!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a good week
See Yea George xxx
We try that too, Rory, and sometimes it works, but only with Dad. Better turn on the big puppy eyes.
ReplyDeleteWoos - Phantom, Thunder, Ciara, and Lightning
I always find the more slobber I drool the more chance I have of getting food! Keep trying and one day you will get some toast.
ReplyDeleteWoofs,
Riley
Maybe one day Rory!
ReplyDeleteAdmittedly we don't sit and stare while our humans eat, our human get sure grumpy - she has never given us food from her plate! *Humph!* She says it encourages begging ;)
Lots of slobbers,
Lexi and Jasper the Danes
The hoomans can be soooooooo stingy - especially at breakie!
ReplyDeleteLove ya lots
Mitch and Molly
You have to swing the pendulum in front of their faces for the hypnosis!! BOL! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteHmmm, obviously your peeps need to be more properly trained. It does take awhile to get them whipped into shape. I hope your getting toast in no time!
ReplyDeleteNubbin wiggles,
Oskar
