Begging
It’s dinner time and here comes the family dog doing the begging trick for food. How did this begging get started?

It got started the first time food passed from the table in your hand to their mouth, now how to stop it.

First and a must – no more food from the table. If you breakdown one time, your dog believes “if I beg a little harder they will give in”.

Other tips – have the pooch lie down during dinner or stay in their bed while you eat.

Occasionally placing a leash on your dog and having them lie next to you works. For that dog that knows how to win by pulling on your heart strings – placing this dog in another room behind a closed door is the answer. There will be lots of barking and scratching but in time most dogs understand begging leads to separation.
