When you finally sit down to eat dinner after a hard day at work, having a pet in your mouth only causes irritation.
But that's not all: as we know, human food contains a lot of spices and salt, while dogs are recommended to be given only bland food at room temperature.
These two factors alone are enough to make you think about how to wean your pet off this bad habit.
Isolating the dog from the kitchen during mealtimes
The easiest and most effective way to stop your dog from begging for food is to simply keep him out of the kitchen while you are eating.
If you give in and allow yourself to feed the dog even once while you are eating, the dog will consider this the norm and will start using its tricks against you.
Be sure to explain to family members and guests that they should also follow this rule.
This will help the dog develop a habit: it cannot be near the owner during eating.
Earlier we talked about how to keep your cat busy if you are constantly away from home.
