Sorry, I won't be much help. My first thought was to have him get rid of those pesky neighborhood kids :lol:

Nah... those are my neighborhood kids. As in my alternative to my own.

Chasing dogs and people may be more of a play thing... hunting instincts are more obvious with smaller things... Does he chase squirrels or bark at them when they are up a tree? Does he chase balls and avidly watch or try to catch birds?

I don't have any trees or squirrels. And he doesn't care about birds.

Now tonight he ate his chicken fine, no seasoning.

Sounds like he hardened the fuck up finally. Now he's a real man (dog).

No I think he was just extra hungry from barely eating for 2 days.

He will get it. Don't give up on it...

He does it, then gets bored. It's that simple I think.

I swear he's the most spoiled dog I know. We revolve nearly everything around him, and he wants for nearly nothing. Could we walk him more? Sure but you try with my work sked. Could he get more dog parks (not that we have any) or whatever? Sure but he's not the best with general public. He's awesome at our house once he "knows you", he's the biggest snuggler. But this whole feeding him is just another irritation we endure with him.

Well if the on/off paticipation wasn't bad enough. His chin achne is still being problematic. Wife has been doing some online research and some say the high protien chicken diet may still cause problems.

We are low on chicken so she wants to try a grain free, venison & potatoe kibble. I just want his problems to be over. The zits, were the real reason why we started this, it hasn't fixed the problem. RESET.

My Schnoodle has started her "sniff and wait" again. She'll eat the organs but wait till the other dog starts sniffing around the bowl before she'll eat the meat. It's about 30 % she'll eat the glop.
