And Wharf, sorry about your dog.
Our dog Buddy left us this evening. Years ago he would of made a meal out of the bunny (who passed about a year ago) but they became the best of friends.
Buddy was the worst offender to come through our door but with time and patience he became a wonderful companion.
Just got done planting him next to the bunny. Very sad here tonight.[/QUOTE]
So sorry...

IF I wanted to take his food away I could, but there is no need to, when he gets things he's NOT supposed to have I can get that.
And there is NO way a kid could ever stumble against him when he's eating so that is not a worry I have to even consider.
either way, not training this out of him isn't doing him any favors....
i only mentioned it because i thought you were in the rescue buisness and assumed this dog would eventually be going to another home, one you cannot control that very well may have children occasionaly around.......

I am in rescue - but HE isn't.... and I don't have kids or friends with kids that come around.
I know what you are saying and "if" he was to be adoptable I would worry about it, but as it is, since I can get things away he's not supposed to have him not wanting me to mess with his food bowl is the least of my concerns (and I could if I needed to.)

I just brought Odin home today and we will work on what bratty habits he has.
What everyone needs to remember, when they do these tests, they REALLY push them and repeat everything sometimes up to 5 or 6 times. AND they do not get to redo their testing, so their temp test is only a snapshot of that particular timeframe. It doesn't take into consideration that the dog's ribs are showing and it hasn't had a good meal in weeks, he will flunk the temp test, those things are NOT considered.
And I think Odin will be a great pet for someone...

way to go KK!!!! Let me know what I can help with!
He had his first lesson tonight when I let the other little pit mix out first and then took him out, he wanted to attack her so since he was on leash I pulled up and he came off his feet (I forgot how small he is). Anyway after two more of those he decided it would be in his best interest to ignore her, so anytime she got close he just turned the other way.. But he really is cute!
I will definitely need to get him out and about soon, maybe I can come around the barn or something if there are a lot of people there.

Absolutely!!! Give me a ring and we can arrange whatever you think he needs! There are always a boat load of cats running around, as well as two resident dogs (a 4 year old english pointer and a 4 month old lab), the horses, the cows, and whatever people you think would be needed.
and I could always bring one or two of my 4 dogs if needed. Although you probably have plenty of dogs to socialize him with... 
Edit: I could even bring a couple of agility jumps to see what he might do with them!

cool, that will work.
This morning he's definitely decided it's healthier to ignore the other dogs. I had him, the same pitty mix and my 10 yr old lab female out and he didn't even try to challenge the lab (I think he's a pretty quick learner) - but the one of the chow boys got out.. I quickly picked him up as I knew that would be ugly....
