Troublesome dog feeding issuesBegging dog: It has been said that food and love equal to the same thing. But when we are talking about a dog we need to learn to separate the two, as well as make this clear to our dogs. Dogs must eat in order to live. We don't feed them to make them love us. If you train your dog with goodies and food it will respond to these and not to your care. The result of this can be life threatening to your dog. Dogs naturally connect food with their appetite. And food cannot be substituted for care, petting and company. Begging is not an easy problem to handle. It's a very disturbing thing when you are trying to eat and the dog is drooling on you and the guests to get what he can out of the meal. Dogs who beg will do almost anything to get what they want, they whine, bark, drool, and even snatch the food if they get a chance. These bad habits grow quickly therefore it is important to attack at these problems immediately. As the owner of a dog you need to decide what kind of behavior you want from your dog. If you are the right kind of owner your dog will realize that and he will obey in order to please you. Don't let the situation get out of control by any means. What to do with fat dogs |
