How To Stop Dogs Begging

There are times, when you and your family are enjoying dinner with guests, and just as the food is being served, your dog climbs up on the guests or whines until someone give him what he wants. This behavior can be both embarrassing and irritating for both you and your guests.

You will need to do something about this behavior, because this will only become worse as it goes along.

One thing you must know is that begging is never an easy thing to teach your dog to stop. The reason that this is true is because you taught him that this was okay to begin with. You allow him to eat from the table and you give in when he does the whining. Because you have allowed this behavior, you should be used to it happening. However, if you want it to stop you will need to use some very important strategies and tips to help your dog lose this behavior.

The first bit of advice you will need to know is that if your dog is making a pest of himself, and driving you up the wall with the begging, you will need to remove him from your presence, away from the situation and away from your company. You will need to always keep him out of the dining area during dinner time period. Keep him in the kitchen, another room or out in the yard during meals so that he knows that he is not a part of that procedure and it will help with the begging problem.

When you put him out during meal times, for a while he will come and beg at the windows and beg when you have food in your hand, however you will need to be consistent and be sure not to ever feed him from the table. Also stay away from giving him human food at all.

Should you give him anything from the table you will have to start from scratch with his training.

Another way that you can help you dog to stop begging is by simply feeding him at the same time that you feed the family. It gives him something else to do besides begging at the table and lets him focus his attention on his own food instead of yours. By doing this you let him feel like part of the family as well because he is also eating. If you don’t want him to eat at the same time, stick to removing him from the situation and giving him a rawhide bone to keep him busy.

The thing you must remember when teaching your dog not to beg is to ensure that he does not eat from your table, and that you are consistent in his training. Never stray from what you are doing with him because as soon as you do he will be back to his begging ways. Another thing make sure if you have children that you instill in them that they should not feed the dog as well.
