Do you have a furry friend at your feet staring up at you with big, round, puppy-dog eyes? Or worse, they do that puppy whine at intervals?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Begging for food is a dog\u2019s natural instinct. It\u2019s also learned behavior.\u00a0If you slip your pooch table scraps at mealtimes, you\u2019re encouraging more begging. Those big soulful eyes will continue to make sad eye contact if you let them. Your pooch will look longingly at your plate and then back to you, hoping for a tasty morsel. They may even scramble to sit as still as possible while their tail sweeps side-to-side. You know the position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While many dog owners seem content to have their dog begging at the dinner table, you can stop begging behavior. Like any behavior problem, you can train your pup for different dog behavior using positive reinforcement.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides, dog begging at mealtimes can also be dangerous for your pup. There\u2019s a lot of human food that\u2019s poisonous for the pups. You probably know about chocolate and onions, but did you know pistachios can be toxic for dogs? They can. And it doesn\u2019t take many.&nbsp; My sister almost lost her Maltipoo to a single pistachio!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from the potential poisons, rewarding your dog with people food contributes to <a href=\"https:\/\/petobesityprevention.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">obesity<\/a>. In the past decade, 56% of dogs have been on the obese side. Too much weight contributes to health problems like arthritis and heart concerns.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>How Do I Get My Dog To Stop Whining and Begging For Food?\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"628\" src=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/dog-pizza.jpg\" alt=\"dog and pizza\" class=\"wp-image-16819\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Like everything with dogs, it\u2019s all about dog training. Dogs are people pleasers, but they\u2019re not mind readers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you reward your dog for begging, they\u2019ll think that it\u2019s ok, and you\u2019ll get more of the unwanted behavior. In their minds, they\u2019re not doing anything wrong, they\u2019re only doing what comes naturally, and you\u2019re rewarding them with delicious morsels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, you can also use positive reinforcement to train your dog for good behavior rather than begging at dinner time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Train your dog basic commands<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/dog-training-1024x536.jpg\" alt=\"dog training\" class=\"wp-image-19135\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/dog-training-1024x536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/dog-training-300x157.jpg 300w, https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/dog-training-768x402.jpg 768w, https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/dog-training.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSit,\u201d \u201cStay,\u201d &#8220;Leave it,&#8221; and \u201cLay down\u201d are useful commands for any dog, but you may not have thought about using them to break the dog begging habit. For example, many dog trainers recommend teaching your dog to go to his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brown.edu\/Research\/Colwill_Lab\/CBP\/Crate.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">crate<\/a> or bed while you\u2019re at the dinner table.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Imagine you have a <a href=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/pets\/stylish-dog-beds\">comfortable dog bed<\/a> in the corner of your living room. It\u2019s within sight of your dining table so you can still keep an eye on your dog. You\u2019ve decided this is the spot where you want your dog to relax while you eat.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Great! Now, you\u2019ll start by teaching your pup that the bed is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=5RVDV5bQi5Q\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">happy spot.<\/a> You can use treats and the \u201cdown\u201d command combined with \u201cstay\u201d to train your pup that their bed is a good spot. Then, you\u2019ll send them to bed when you sit down to eat. Maybe you keep a favorite chew toy on the bed to occupy your pup while you\u2019re eating.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, dog training requires consistent repetition.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In many cases, it\u2019ll take 10-15 minutes a day of consistent training for a few days to teach your pup to go to the dog bed when you tell them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most important thing in <a href=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/dogs\/the-importance-of-foundation-training-for-dogs\">dog training<\/a> is consistency. This means everyone in the house needs to participate in the dog training. If you have one person still slipping the dog table scraps, then your training won\u2019t work because someone is encouraging bad behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Put your dog in a separate room<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"765\" src=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/70751-DONUT-PATTERNED-VP-GRY-23X23_Angle-6-1024x765.jpg\" alt=\"dog in donut bed in living room\" class=\"wp-image-20023\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/70751-DONUT-PATTERNED-VP-GRY-23X23_Angle-6-1024x765.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/70751-DONUT-PATTERNED-VP-GRY-23X23_Angle-6-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/70751-DONUT-PATTERNED-VP-GRY-23X23_Angle-6-768x573.jpg 768w, https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/70751-DONUT-PATTERNED-VP-GRY-23X23_Angle-6-180x135.jpg 180w, https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/70751-DONUT-PATTERNED-VP-GRY-23X23_Angle-6-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/70751-DONUT-PATTERNED-VP-GRY-23X23_Angle-6.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>A variation on the bed or crate option is to put your pup in another room and close the door. You can train your dog to go to their \u201croom,\u201d and you can close the door when you sit down to eat. Presto! You\u2019re spared the sad-eyed pup stare. If your dog still whines while in the other room, ignore them. Try putting on music for them, maybe doggie TV to redirect their attention.<br><br>You can also start feeding your dog in this room before you sit down to eat. Invite your dog into the room, put down their full dog food bowl and step away, closing the door behind you. Then, you can enjoy your meal in peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some people put a baby gate in between their dining room and their dog. That way, you can keep an eye on your pup with a<a href=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/product\/best-dog-puzzle-toys-for-mental-stimulation\"> puzzle toy<\/a> or other treat to keep them occupied while you eat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Offer a distraction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/orka_boston_2022-236-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"dog with a chew toy\" class=\"wp-image-18654\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/orka_boston_2022-236-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/orka_boston_2022-236-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/orka_boston_2022-236-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/orka_boston_2022-236.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The delicious smells of human food offer plenty of temptation, so you can\u2019t really blame your dog for wanting to join you in the taste sensations. To distract your pup, you can offer a favorite chew toy or maybe a puzzle toy (with delicious treats hidden inside.) You can gently toss it across the room and encourage your pup to go after it.<br><br>You don\u2019t want to feed anything from the dining table, though, because that will teach your dog that good things come from the dinner table. If you want to encourage good behavior in the first place, make sure anything you feed your pooch is away from your dinner table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Ignore the begging <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Dogs do know how to turn those dramatic puppy eyes on you. Honestly, some of them deserve an Oscar for their pitiful expressions. But you\u2019re the human, and you don\u2019t have to give in! It\u2019s tough, but if you don\u2019t look at the sad eyes, it\u2019s easier to ignore. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, if they\u2019re whining, that\u2019s more difficult, and you\u2019ll probably benefit from training your dog to be in a separate room when you eat. Leave them with a few dog treats or treat-filled toys to occupy themselves.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>How to stop a dog from begging for food: Feed your dog first<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/B__9807-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"dog eating meal\" class=\"wp-image-20901\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/B__9807-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/B__9807-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/B__9807-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/B__9807.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If your dog eats his own food first, that doesn\u2019t mean he\u2019ll also stop the begging behavior, but at least you\u2019ll know he just ate, so maybe you\u2019ll feel a little less guilty.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, some dogs are extremely food driven, and it seems that no matter what you do, you can\u2019t break them from the dog begging habit. This is often a psychological need rooted in the past, such as former strays who were scavengers on the streets in their previous life. Such trauma may require more dog training or a dog behavior expert to help you break this habit.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Happy eating!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/dog-coffee-begging-1024x536.jpg\" alt=\"what toxins can cause seizures in dogs: caffine\" class=\"wp-image-15489\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/dog-coffee-begging-1024x536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/dog-coffee-begging-300x157.jpg 300w, https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/dog-coffee-begging-768x402.jpg 768w, https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/dog-coffee-begging.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>For other dogs, begging for table scraps is just an opportunity to get something tasty. It\u2019s no different than you or I eyeing up the trail mix in the cabinet for a little mid-afternoon snack. You can\u2019t blame your dog for wanting a little nosh too. Or, maybe your dog learned this bad behavior from your other dog, canine companions can teach unwanted behaviors.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, dog behavior problems stem from a lack of training. You can break the dog begging habit with a coordinated effort among everyone in the family. Make a plan, get the household on board, and happy eating without a begging dog!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Picture this, you sit down at the dinner table, and what happens?
