Hi Ann! Do you have a crate??? She should be in her crate in a different room when you guys eat. I think it is a dominace thing... if she is in the same room then she thinks she is close to your equal.. but if she is far away, in another room maybe with the door shut, she gets the picture that this is NOT something she is allowed to be a part of. After you eat let her out and give her a treat or some play time as a reward for being so good
