I'm trying to find the logic in not feeding a skittish dog for a few days..........
How does that long term fix anything?
if a dog is skittish enough that it wont come to you, if you dont feed it for a few days and then feed it by hand it makes the dog like you and trust you and want to come to you, its some of the most impressionable positive reinforcement you can give a dog. You have to feed it out of your hand though so it associates the reinforcement with your hand and your smell. It works with aggressive dogs too
