Feeding has become a bonding ritual as I sometimes feed by hand. It has increased the dogs loyalty to a point where obedience is just a fact of life and not something we have to continuously work on. I feel like it has improved their quality of life.
That doesn't sound too bad, really.
Especially given the benefits you seem to be getting from it.
I'll definitely consider this if I get a dog in the near future.
