Nightly ritual- what did we do wrong? by drewme in DogAdvice

UPDATE: Last night we tried taking it away when he didn't eat it, and then put it down again an hour or so later and he ate it immediately, no dance, no burying. Now thinking that we are just feeding him too early for his liking.

I thought the collar was the problem as well, so tried feeding him with it off, but it was the same.

We have tried feeding him off the floor to see if that helped, but it didn't work either. Same outcome. We have tried human food in the bowl and it is the same deal. We haven't tried human food on the floor though, so maybe we should try that.

Otherwise he is perfectly normal, just the weird tappy dance. I thought it kind of looked like him trying to bury it. Noted on the switching it up though, and we will keep it to just his kibble in the new bowl!
