Do your dogs beg?

[Pawsitive Thinking]

We've been very lucky with Tobey. Since he was tiny he has shown a bit of interest at meal times but then lies under the table. He knows that at the end of the meal he will get some scraps that have been "left" on my plate

Yes, my dog does beg. A week ago I found a dog in my basement it's brown and white it is pretty. It is to scared to come out.

I have to admit, i've given my dog scraps a lot of times and as many of the other dogs do, as well, he does the leg on the thigh thing. If he doesn't do that he'll just sit and stare at you and the food. And sometimes he'll look on the floor to see if anything has dropped. If anyone needs tips on begging you can teach them the "leave it command" so that if something drops they will not just grab it and run; this is handy if you drop something like onions or chocolate which they're not supossed to have. Another tip is to just totally ignore the dog. We do that with my dog, benji, and he eventually understands that he won't be getting anything so he just goes and lies down

No. From a young age,we NEVER gave them food at the table.so they learned not to beg at the table.They usually just sit under the table and sleep until were finished.

yes and it is all my fault

No one in my family can stand our dogs begging at the dinner table. We have to scold them with an 'OUT!" or 'GO LIE DOWN!' and they leave, it took a while for them to get that though Esspecialy Buddy

Ha! Ha! Bon and Gull! Bella does that and around here hubby and I call that getting the *heavy head.* Bella puts the whole weight of her head on our legs and just looks up. No sounds are made or she wouldn't be allowed to stay there. Ripley is not food motivated at all. Most of the time while we eat he is running around in the kitchen throwing a toy up in the air or else sacking out on the sofa until we are finished.
