There are many dog problems that you are going to have with your pet.
Many of these have to be worked on and trained so that they will not ever happen again.
One problem that is very common is that your dog will be begging during meals.
This is a problem because they can cause noise or might even eat something that is not healthy for them.
Below we will discuss things you can do that will help stop this behavior of your dog.
First thing you can do is to have your dog lay down during dinner.
If he or she gets up, punish your dog with your normal command.
If your pet stays, reward your pet every few minutes with something.
This might be some affection or it might be a food reward.
This can help stop the jumping that is very common when a dog wants food at the table.
Start off right with your pet.
Do not let anyone feed your pet from the table or even after meals.
If this happens, your pet will know that any behavior will get what he or she wants.
If you are strict and do not allow him or her to get away with it, it will limit the begging.
If your dog will not obey, remove him or her from the room.
Your pet will know that they are not allowed in the room if they are causing too many problems around the table.
Give your dog a snack reward for not begging.
Your dog will know that being good gets a good reward like this.
Your pet wants something good tasting and this can be the treat.
You can also feed your dog the best meal of the day during your family dinner time.
You might add a little gravy to the dry dog food to make it taste much better.
Your dog will be focused on this and not the family's food.
