I learned that lesson as well. We are teaching Cookie to keep away from the table when we eat and it's working. I don't give him or Mimi any meat that is spicy. I don't give them steak either. If I do sneak him or Mimi a little piece it's usually grilled chicken breast but a size of a quarter. Yesterday Cookie took an inch long piece of Twizzlers out of my mouth! I wash watching TV and had small piece sticking out of my mouth when all of a sudden I see himcrawling up my chest and tilting his head as if he's going to "human kiss me" lol well he very gently put one paw on my chin and took the twizzler out of my mouth! Then after that I gave him two more 1inch pieces.
Well and another good thing! Hubby was able to brush Cookie's teeth without a battle! lol First time Cookie acted like he was being killed,barking and screaming. Then the next time I didnt hear him make a sound ,he just let my hubby brush his teeth! Now Mimi is a different story!
