i give my furbaby a taste of table food. i let him take a look and a lil taste. he never begs so i guess it works for us. i only let him have natural food tastes. for example, a little bit of chopped up apples,carrots, or basicly fruits and veggies. sometimes i treat him with a tiny piece of cheese or a couple slurps of organic milk leftover in my cereal bowl. i know it's problay wrong , but i feel 100% denial causes begging.
