Do your dogs beg?

[caseysmom]

Bubba is the worst and mostly from my husband. He barks and growls while my hubby eats. Casey just sort of comes and looks at you.

[ParNone]

LOL! Love it! It's Gull Jr. I'll have to try to get a similar pic of Gull to post.

Molli is very good with not begging, sometimes she'll come up in my face and I will tell her "No, Molli, off." And she will go sit on the floor and stare at me the rest of the time.

We're still working on it with Sam.

[BitsyNaceyDog]

Bitsy, Charlie, Buster, and Nacey never beg. Justin and I can eat with them sitting on our laps without any begging taking place. Nova is usually good too, unless we are having chicken, then she begs. We eat in the living room on TV trays (we don't have a dining room table) and the dogs often sit on the couch with us. When we have chicken though we use the baby gate to confine Nova to the kitchen.

Audrey I'm sorry if my dogs annoyed you with begging at my house...

They are all beggers...Nebo is a professional. None of them bark or jump up (they're not allowed on couches/chairs anyway) they just sit there and look sad. When we're sitting at the table Nebo likes to put his head in your lap, sometimes with a big sigh...he knows how to get those big blue eyes working for him.

If I'm sitting on the floor eating sometimes they'll get a bit too close...I can tell Nebo to go lay down and he'll lay on his bed. But for the most part they are good at keeping their distance, they don't like jump in your lap and eat the food off the plate or bark at you until you give them some. Smokey (RB) would do that.

one more thing..

my dogs know I am the easiet to get food from..so they beg from me more than my parents.

[Muddy4paws]

The evidence! lol she always begs, we taught her it as a trick but she does it whenever there is food about, it does get annoying sometimes

Gull nose begging.

[Anita Cholaine]

Well... she wasn't actually begging for food in this pic (it was a "don't give me a bath" begging... ) But it's almost the same. She can make that poor little doggie face so well...

Anita is such an actress; as I already said, she can get what she wants with her big brown eyes...

Ditto.. Our dogs need to stop having the same personailities.

I don't mind it. They do not bark or jump when begging unless told to - however unless someone tells me that they don't like my dogs being near them I have no clue. I will tell them to get back if they are getting too close, but too close is different for everyone. Nala and Kiara usually have their heads on my lap while I'm eating and I don't mind at all. They know when to stop if I tell them too - and that's all that counts, as long as they obey me when I tell them to.


If a dog annoys you and the owner doesn't tell it to stop... let him/her know, we all have different views on what's annoying.


Here are the girls when I eat. I actually enjoy having their company while I eat.


For everyone else, cute beggers!

I don't see anything wrong with dogs begging unless they're rude and bark and slobber and jump up. Many people have zero tolerance for it.. but in my opinion, it's silly.

Mickey and Molly are like Nebo when it comes to begging.. they're polite. And yes, I feed them scraps.

[Suki Wingy]

Niño begs to be fed because we feed him after us. He also whines like he's begging because he wants me to play with him, even though he didn't want to before I sat down

[VTJess03]

My dogs do beg, but not at the dinner table. Usually Belle will lay under the table, and Maggie will put herself to bed (she seems to have missed out on the hound thing mentioned by luvofallhorses as far as begging, but she does sleep a lot). Belle knows that if she's going to get scraps, it will be after we finish and we scrape them into her food bowl. If she starts to act like a beggar while we're eating, it usually means that she has to go out...the nose begging comes in at that point too (usually on my lap or nudging my elbow up as I'm raising a spoon or fork to my mouth )

However, when we're snacking in front of the TV, we're open game as far as the begging goes, especially with popcorn.

[lizbud]

Oz and Murph just sit or lay silently next to me and Gull will come rest his head on my leg and stare up at me. All 3 wait patiently to see if anything comes there way. I have to admit, I love Gull doing the leg thing, so he usually gets rewarded for that. And since he's getting something, of course, Oz and Murph have to too.

Par...

Maggie begs like Gull. The face laying on your thigh. Gets me every time. Smokey is much more polite. Funny but they don't beg at all
when I eat at the dining room table. Only when I have lunch at the
computer.
