Your dog will beg if it works. He begs and if you give him food, he will continue to beg. Thus the first big stop in stopping your dog from begging for food is to never give him food when he begs. Ensure that all family members and guests follow this simple rule too. Insist that your dog sits or lies down while you are eating so he is below the table level. You may even need to move him to the other side of the room or another part of the house to control begging and whining at first. Consider feeding your dog his food from his own bowl while you are eating so he gets to eat without the begging. Be patient and never yell at your dog or punish him while he is learning.
