Spoiling a dog is like spoiling a child. You wind up with a spoiled brat. I should know. I have one, a spoiled brat dog. Potty training was never an issue, thank goodness, and I do not give table food, so he does not beg at the table. He does, however, beg for treats, and I usually give in if he does not beg too often.
It sounds like your dog has separation anxiety, that is why he will not eat unless you are right there with him. I saw the same program on "It's Me or the Dog", but I can't remember what Victoria recommended as I don't have that problem. Mine dog is a very good eater, thank God. |
