In general, pups have a tendency to get a little over-excited around food or when they know it’s their mealtime. But that doesn’t mean we can’t train them to be a bit more relaxed!
Boris the beagle pup might be just about three months old, but his Dad has made sure he knows not to misbehave even when food is being served for him! He is to sit patiently and calmly as Dad gets his food ready, and when the bowl is first placed there, he must not move towards it at all until Dad gives him the “okay”.
And guess what? The pup pulls off the commands without a hitch! What a good boy! After he’s licked the bowl clean, he heads over to Dad for an additional treat, which he earns by sitting and shaking paws multiple times. You can clearly hear the pride in Dad’s voice as he gives little Boris lots and lots of praise for being so good!
