Don't give in to begging. Reward calm behavior near food with praise or treats.
Ignore Begging
Teach "Place" so your dog goes to their bed/mat when you eat. Reward them staying put.
Command
Feed your dog in a crate or separate room to prevent mealtime issues.
Crate Train
Don't share table scraps to reduce begging. Stick to dog food.
People Food
Keep counters and tables clear of food. Use scents or aluminium foil to deter counter surfing.
Mind the Counter
Walk your dog before meals so they're tired and less tempted by food.
Exercise First
Use treats and praise when your dog stays calm and doesn't beg.
