Dogs begging for food are mostly caused by improper feeding by their owners. For example, when the family is having a meal, the dog is not kept away from the dining environment. In fact, the dog feels that as long as he waits, he will have a chance, and then develops a bad habit of begging for food. It is not too difficult to solve the problem of begging. The only way is that the dog owner must establish a principle of persistence and let the dog know that when the owner is eating, not only will he not give it food, but he will also not let it come close to you. When it fully understands your persistence and principles, it will not immediately approach its owner and behave like begging when you are eating.
