Poor Abused Puppy

When Kodiak was a puppy, I fed him in his crate to keep sanity in the household (at meal times, anyway). He's so used to it that he runs into his crate when I start prepping his food. Lately, I've been asking for a few behaviors before he's allowed to eat - wait, touch, paw, watch, and occasionally a down. According to Kodiak, this is nothing but pure torture. He's so abused, he even has trouble keeping his butt on his bed because he's jiggling so much while he waits for me to release him.
