[QUOTE="Which Tyler, post: 1049875, member: 73592"] Top tip for anyone else going through this, with an old dog off her food, and younger dogs in the household: Our instinct had been to try feeding her, even little treats, on her own and not being hassled by the youngsters. We discovered yesterday that we can get a bit more food into her by doing a "training" session. So we have all 3 dogs around, Tal and Beli do Sit, Down, Stand, Leave It etc; and the treats go around from one to the other. Older dog obviously gets much bigger treats for just being there. But that habit and competition meant that she'd take food she was otherwise refusing. Over a couple of sessions this morning, I managed to get an extra 3 slices of ham, and 2 schmakos into her.
