I do pretend to munch from his bowl and i get the children to do it too but i think the positive association makes more sense to me.

Hi there , have four kiddies , one of whom is just two and a half months and two leos .
so i do know much about the time issue . I only suggest these two books as they make good easy reads , and give a small insight into the canine mind.
With all dogs they are different and they respond differently to various trainning methods and techniques and behaviour modification , what works well for one will not work well for another .
With the children issue i would try and turn it into a game if you can , make up some strange game that involves making the dog wait in a sitting postion musical status or something but without music .Or whatever suits your needs , it is time comsuming though and i know not always practical.
The trainning method you choose must be one you are happy with and you can invisage working.
Have a great day , hope this help
