How to stop a dog from begging for food

The best way to stop a dog from begging is to not give food outside of meals.

Do not allow the animal to be near you and ask for food.

For example, you can isolate the dog in another room or let it go outside, if there is such a function.

It is important that the dog has something to do - play with toys or other animals.

If you cannot isolate your dog for a while, try to distract the dog's attention.

Switch your pet's attention to a game or favorite activity.

In addition, you can teach the dog commands yourself or with the help of a dog handler.

For example, if the dog asks for food, send the animal to its place - the bed.

It is extremely important not to look at or react to the pet while begging.

The point is that your voice, attention and eye contact are signs of reward for your dog.

If you give in even once, the dog will continue to behave this way.

Therefore, it is important to be patient and be consistent.
