Not from the Bowl - thank you!

I think I've already mentioned that Einstein seemed to be a bit of a picky eater... I should rephrase that. He seems to simply need more mental stimulation. I have found the days that we take on a new route for a walk or learn a new trick in training, he readily eats from his bowl. The days that he has less of a challenge, he seems to require the increased challenge.

Yesterday, was a particularly full day so I put his meal into a brown lunch sack. I cut much of the top off so that it was only about 3 inches high, let him sniff the sack while empty and then let him see me put his food into the sack and set it on the ground.

He was so cute! After trying to indimidate his prey via barking and pouncing, he accidently knocked the sack over causing some of the kibble to spill out. At this point he figured it out and went on to enjoy the rest of his meal.
