Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Tried that.
She just sits there, with water dripping off her face, and she wont budge. She never takes her eyes off the food.
Follow your MOUSE
New Too lazy to branch but real suggestion..
You have to establish who's boss. Tell her "No!" and put her on her back. No tummy rubs; just a stern look. She'll know that it's a confrontation. Keep her on her back until she submits. Submission in this instance will be tail curled up between legs, licking her nose, and failure to maintain eye contact. The dog, not you.
Do this repeatedly and treat her well, and you will have a much better behaved dog. Beating them doesn't work. Might with kids though; never tried. Haven't any.
New Good advice.
I haven't tried the back thing directly, but I have gotten in close stare-downs with Colleen. She doesn't like that, and it does reinforce who's boss.

Someone, somewhere must have said: If you don't train your dog, it'll train you.

Cheers,
Scott.
New My dog knows
I'm the alpha male.

He's 100pd wimp anyway...but he knows who the boss is.
