Begging for Table Scraps
from:Dogs are sharp and they are learning from you from the moment
you let them into your home. Make sure you are conveying the
right messages to your dog from the get go. Many pet owners,
almost unknowingly, sometimes encourage poor behavior. Training
your dog is an essential part of the dog owner relationship. If
you are careful and consistent, your training should go well. A
good example of a poor habit that can get out of hand is
begging.
If you don't want your dog to beg, it is imperative
that you separate dog feeding and dog food from your breakfast,
lunch and dinner. Most of us have enjoyed a tasty treat within
sniffing range of our canine companions. The dog is quick to
communicate its intent toward your snack with a series of tail
wags and soulful stares or squeaky whines. If you feed the dog
scraps from your plate while you are eating your meal, then the
dog is training you very well, and the message you are sending
your dog is clear. My lunch is your lunch. Hanging out and
groveling at the dinner table is a good way to get a share of
the tasty treat. Your dog will file this away and it will take a
lot more time and training to break the habit.
If you can separate family feeding time and space from dog feeding time and
space from the beginning of your relationship with your dog,
then you should never have a begging problem. This is a simple
preventative measure that you can take. If you allow begging and
give in, then you will only confuse your dog later when you want
them to stop. One of the most difficult issues regarding begging
behavior in dogs is the company you keep. In most households or
groups of friends, there is at least one double agent, someone
that can not resist sharing with the family pet.
Young children are often the culprits whether sharing as a friendly gesture or,
more often, pawning off some of their less desirable morsels to
help make a clean plate. Adults can be just as guilty as the
children though, feeding the pet just to be nice. All parties
involved with the dog feeding and people feeding in your home
need to be on the same page regarding the dog and people food.
This helps to avoid mixed messages. If you have already got
yourself a beggar, it is not too late. Consistent training and
more importantly the separation, when possible, of the dog from
the food consumption can eventually wean the dog of this
behavior.
Above all, you can not give in to those puppy dog eyes
when they are eyeing your food. If you are getting a new dog,
keep these tips in mind. It is easier to never teach your dog a
bad habit, than it is for him to break it. For information on puppies for sale, visit
