Turning the plate

DH started this thing where he would turn Emmie's food plate when she finished half of the food (it would get pushed to the back and she would put the plate against the wall and food would get all over the wall). It's bad enough with her total diva behavior but now, she won't finish her food unless DH or I turn the plate. And, she is getting even worse where I have to turn it like 4 times until she is done. She sits there and stares at me or runs back and forth from me to the plate until I turn it. It's unreal.

Does anyone have any suggestions how I can break her of this? Also, what could this need for her plate to be turned mean?

OMG....Im so sorry, but that is too funny ( not to you Im sure though).

I wish I had advice. Maybe just stop doing it. I doubt she will starve herself ya know?

Good luck!

Re: Turning the plate

I agree too! And I wouldn't even stay in the room with her once you put down the food.

The positive side is you know she doesn't have a food aggression since she lets you touch her bowl while she's eating!
