Seems like i'm forever posting problems, but if it helps us get over something then it's worth it.
1. Jess used to love her food and would chomp down on it straight away, but recently she's really gone off food altogether. She will watch me get the food and I can put it down and she will sniff maybe take a mouthful and then walk away and not tough it again for another half hour. Even then she will again only take a small mouthful.
I'm not sure if she's not scared we will steal her food or if there is something wrong, she will take it from my hand if I give it to her as a treat for performing a command, but otherwise she's not bothered.
The same is true sometime when we go for a walk and she will just not be interested in a nice smelly piece of chicken for performing a sit outside.
2. She has started barking at the children, there is not reason behind this either, usually they just get up and walk past her or sometimes sit on the stairs and talk to me or OH and she will start barking directly at them, but sometimes when she does this she goes to grab a toy almost like she's scared they will take it. But sometimes they are no where near her things. it's only the children that she does this with. At the moment and soon and she does it I remove her from the room for a 3/4 minute time out and then she may come back in.
It's a different sort of bark to what she usually does though like a territorial bark or a "Stay away" bark. How can I combat this. I've managed to get us all to stick to most of the other rules that I made up about keeping long line on and keeping them separate from Jess, but i'm just unsure about this problem. Apart from that she's doing fine although she has started jumping up a lot more for some reason.
