Gus used to do the same thing. What I did was put him in his crate while we ate. The crate is located in the family room right next to the kitchen. But he really didn't like it. I didn't want him to dislike his crate and think it's there for punishment. So I put his harness and leash on and tied him up to the tv stand with his pillow right there. He cried at first, so then I moved him to the the other room. He really cried then, so I got him and put him back on the tv stand so he can see us and it really helped. Again if he cried,, back to the room he went. After a while he new it was better for him to be right in the next room where he can see us. This took about 3 weeks. After that I didn't have to tie him to the stand, he knew he had to stay there on his pillow while we are eatting. He'll will come running if anyone drops anything, but all we have to say is get back and he'll stop right in his tracks. After dinner he will search for any food that may have fallen on the floor but that's ok, just as long as he's not begging for food at dinner time. Good luck!!!
