How can I teach my dog to eat in the bowl?

Well basically, my little 3 year old Chihuahua eats her food from her bowl but always takes it across the room, drops it there, and runs back to do it again. Then later, she eats it. No matter how many times I put it back she keeps doing it. Help?

Answer #1

Hey my cat does the same . We put newspaper on the floor around her so she doesn’t make TOO much of a mess. Xx

Answer #2

My sister’s chihuahua does the same thing- well almost.

she will take the food out of the bowl, take it a ew steps away and eat it there. I don’t think there is a solution to this. I think it’s just the way they are.

Answer #3

Aww! I’ve no idea how you solve it sorry. But my cat used to do that to, he’d always take the food out of his bowl in his mouth and take it away to eat it.

Answer #4
