10 Effective Ways To Help Your Dog To Stop Their Begging Behavior

Does your dog give you big puppy dog eyes, begging for food at every turn? It’s an adorable action, but it’s also not the best type of behavior.

Here are 10 ways that you can stop this begging behavior!

1. Never Table Feed

Stop feeding your dog from the table at all, ever.

2. Ignore

No matter how convincing your dog’s puppy dog eyes look, ignore them outright.

3. Tell Guests

Make sure that any visitors to your home know the rules. They shouldn’t enable your dog’s begging behavior!

4. Distraction

Before you eat, give your dog a chewy treat, or a puzzle toy with treats inside. Anything that will keep them occupied works.

5. Restrict

Keep your dog in a designated location when you eat. Whenever they come to beg, put them back there. It can be their bed, a room, or anywhere else that works.

6. Play

Exhaust your dog before you eat with exercise and playtime so they feel satisfied beforehand.

7. Clean

Don’t leave crumbs on surfaces and floors; clean up before your dog does!

8. Feed

Give your dog their meals at the same time that you eat.

9. Tether

Tie your dog up to a location away from your dining table.

10. Teach Kids

Your kids should also be enforcing all these rules!
