Do your dogs beg?

[k9krazee]

My dogs beg...a lot. But, the only person who feeds them at the table is my dad, so they are all in his face so it really doesn't bother me It has gotten to the point where he sits down and Micki and Kyra are on one side (Micki sits up and puts his feet on him, Kyra stands), Shadow and Mini on the other side and Jack under the table with his head on my dads lap. My dad thinks its cute But when hes not home they are all pretty good! When we have company over the dogs are always put in the living room with the gate up.

My dogs know suckers when they see them- ie, my mom, my husband, and any guest who "oooohhhhs" and "aaaaaahhhhhhs" over them. They don't beg much from me because they know that I don't like to share (unless I'm eating popcorn, which is fun to share! Then Marta will get on the back of the couch and rest her head on my shoulder and wait).

But, they beg like crazy when my mom is over because they know she is a sucker, and they know that my husband will certainly drop something. I'm definately thankful neither of them drool though!

If they barked, whined, jumped on me or stuck their nose into my plate, then yeh that would annoy me. But mine beg sort of unobtrusively.

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.

I did have to stop sharing the left over drippings from my philly cheese steak sandwiches though, cuz that would cause Gull to drool. The thought of getting something so scrumptious, was just too overwhelming I guess.

Begging doesn't bother me as long as the dogs are not barking or whining. Mandy just lays under the table but Lacey usually sits and stares at us. They don't get anything until we're done eating. Lacey will bark at my hubby when she's begging off of him, he lets her get away with it. She doesn't do it to me becuase I won't allow it.

I find it rather annoying too.. but i dont give my dog a chance to beg... i stick him in his crate when we eat. and close the door to my room. so he cant even see us while we eat.

now if its for popcorn then i dont care and hes allowed then..
anything else though and hes stuffed in his crate.

That's a good idea, I may have to try that. Especially with a puppy on the way - I don't want him to pick up the habit.

Yes, they beg. Buster is the worst since he's a hound. I don't mind it, like chocolatepuppy said, as long as they aren't barking or whining, I am fine.

LOL! Exactly why I had to stop sharing any tidbits with my three! The girls are fine, but Bon If he even thinks there's any hope he'll get a bite he starts drooling...Gross when your trying to eat
But I have to admit, he does look very cute when begging!



I have to say they are all very good about begging. If told to go lay down and not beg, they will. Otherwise they'll just stare

Anita begs, but only from my mum. She knows that me, my dad and my sister won't give her anything while we are eating, but she knows my mum loves spoiling her with food We have the same discussion everyday, but she will never understand that if she stops giving her food, Anita will stop begging!

It's really funny when Anita begs for cheese. She goes to my dad, and starts kissing him and asking for bellyrubs. She looks at him with her big brown eyes, and it's impossible not to give her a little piece

[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.

Gull nose begging.

[ParNone]

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

[dab_20]

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.

[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

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.
