Q. I was told to never give my dog people food because
he will beg for food all the time. Is this true?
A. No! but this needs an explanation. It is more about how and when you
treat not what the treat consists of. For example, sometimes we use
chicken or cheese tidbits as a high value positive reinforcement for "Come
Here" training. This will not cause your dog to beg for food. If you feed your
dog at the dinner table or while you are cooking a meal or give him a part of
the sandwich you are eating, this will teach him to beg. If your dog walks
reinforced begging or being demanding and pushy. Always have your dog
work for treats and make it your idea, not his.
