What can I do to stop my dog from begging at the table?

+2 votes

We adopted a 4-year-old dog and she came with this annoying habit of begging at the table. I never give my dog scraps from the table and I don't let anyone else give her any either. What I do to get her to stop begging when we sit down for a meal?

Teach your dog the down/stay commands, gradually lenthening the stay until you finish your meal. You can also temporarily put up a barrier - a gate - to keep your dog away from your eating area. Never feed your dog at the table. But you can give her a meal of her own in a designated place away from where you are eating. You can also give her a toy or puzzle that you can put treats in to keep her occupied until you finish your meal.
