She will always sit and watch what you are eating at meals although she might have or not eaten her own dinner, unfortunately I am a softie and always give in to her, if I close her in another room all she does is bark. I do not know what her previous owner did with her.
I would think they spoilt her then could not cope with her demands. |
The easiest way to stop the begging is to say "no" and then ignore any subsequent begging. If you give in once, the begging will continue.
My boys never begged until I handed them something off of my plate. They went to their doggy beds while I had my meals. Now they will perform sits under me if they know I have something that they might get a taste of. I tell them, "That's all. Let me eat." That is their cue to stop the begging.
If you are 100% consistent, the begging will stop.
