Because yorkies are pack animals and you are their "pack" they want to eat with you, they are social also, which adds to them being right there with you at the table.

Anyways, what I do is have dog food at the table, so I can give them a piece when they come to the table to "eat" with you.... they don't beg, they sit nice and wait for their piece, with the cutest little faces... since they can't see on top of the table, they don't know we are eating something different (at least I don't think so)

It works for us anyways...

We have strict feeding rules -- no food from the table whatsoever, even though it's nearly impossible to deny Sophie anything. She eats her breakfast around 10:00 am, gets a snack mid-afternoon, then eats her dinner at the same time that we eat dinner...but she eats her food (Wellness) not ours. We never gave her anything from the table from day one, and it has worked. She will beg us to play with her before dinnertime is over, but she has never begged for table food.

Our dogs never get people food (except when pregnant- cc ect) and we would not give them any of their food from the table if they begged, so they know not to do that... when they sit nice they get their food- but they do have other scheduled feeding times.

I think many of us share the same dark secret! I can tell you it has really caused me some grief with my 2 legged kids!

She is adorable!! My girls get away with tons of things just because they will give us a little head tilt or a special little face and you just can't say no at all!!
