It really works . the other day i tried to send dillon in the house before me so i could go on my own to talk to the neighbor, he didnt want to go in the house before me. i had to go in and then leave without him...he learned quickly. ( now if only I could have remembered my own rules in this case ! LOL!!!)

I do the block method with Cody also in regards to the cat food - I lay their dishes down in the laundry room when it is time for them to eat, and he tries to go in there . So I stand in his way and make him back up and tell him to stay - then he lays down in the hallway and just peeks in.
