He is never really left on his own for long periods of time and never has been as my b/f granddad lives with us and doesn't really go anywhere part from to the shop to get his paper which Jake goes with him for that.
He loves toys and is played with constantly but has never been a big eater. He was taken to the vets as he once wouldn't eat any type of dog food that was put down for him for over two days but was drinking fine. The vet came to the conclusion that he must be a very stubborn little dog as he had been tried on different types of wet and dry food with no luck. But this hasn't been a problem since he now eats completely fine just not a lot.
Sirteddykins- As you say you think I have no compassion for the little dog that is completely wrong as I wouldn't be trying this hard to fix the problem if I did not. I did post early to reply to you but it doesn't seem to have posted so sorry if it appears. I clearly have come across as cold in trying to get my post into little words as possible but in no way do I not love Jake, he is part of the family and that is why we are trying to fix his behaviour
