How to deal with dogs that always beg for food: owners should be cruel
Many behavioral problems of dogs are actually caused by their owners. Every time the dog does something wrong, he only needs to act pitiful. With such a pensive expression, the owner cannot bear to punish it anymore. In fact, it is very wrong to do this. It will increase the dog's arrogance and let it know that what it does is effective and it will continue to do such things next time. The correct approach should be to ignore the dog's behavior and concentrate on eating its own meal, because any response from the owner will make the dog feel that it has a chance to eat. If the dog barks or digs its legs, stop the dog's behavior or drive it away. If the dog is really annoying, the owner can put the dog in a cage so that the dog cannot see the owner eating.
How to deal with dogs always asking for food: clear instructions
Owners should clarify the dog’s instructions in daily training, such as “yes” and “no”. Give your dog a clear command to let it know whether you want to feed it or to stop begging and eating. However, before owners train their dogs not to eat, they should make sure that their dogs do not guard their food. Otherwise, some dogs with serious food guarding problems will bite people.
How to deal with dogs that always beg for food: Appropriate rewards
Training dogs not to beg for food also requires appropriate rewards. For example, when a family member finds a dog wagging its tail and begging for food while eating, the owner should stop the dog in time. If the dog can obey the command and sit down calmly in time, the owner can reward the dog with appropriate snacks so that it can learn to listen to the command and stop. However, the owner cannot give out the reward at the beginning. Instead, the owner should give the reward after confirming that the dog has completely calmed down and given up the food.
