Set up sometimes where you have food and you don't mind getting up
and up and up and up

It's going to take a awhile
But EVERYTIME she comes and begs for food you place her where you want her

and NEVER EVER let her jump up on anyone to get food
That can lead to food aggressive behavior
actually it leads to bad manners but not food aggression.
There is not an aggression group called food aggression.
If you are thinking possession aggression that is when you try and take a item from the dog.
Bad manner or possible impulse control concerns which was called conflict aggression for sure.

Feeding human food is not a no no and is OK if it used with in boundaries and a great motivator for some dogs. What is raw diet but human grade fresh food.

If you dog like human food as in whole foods like chicken or steak of raspberries or carrot use them as high value treats. Put them to work and use the fact she loves them to your advantage.
So teach her in the presents of food she really wants she lays down and waits and she will get some on YOUR TERMS not hers. IF she is in a down she can not be on you looking for food. Or you want what I got do a spin work stays, do recalls, just put her want to work and get in on random reinforcement fast and the begging will stop as she wil learn to work for it and that if she is trying it will come.
