Establish consistent feeding times. A routine helps your dog understand when to expect meals, reducing begging tendencies.

A specific feeding spot. Teach your pup to associate that area with mealtime, minimizing begging elsewhere.

Avoid giving in to begging. Ignoring the behavior prevents reinforcement and encourages your pup to find other activities.

Offer engaging toys or treat puzzles during meal prep. This keeps your pup occupied and less focused on begging.

Teach commands like 'sit' and 'stay.' Reinforce these commands during meals to encourage your pup's self-control.

Occasionally offer healthy treats. This prevents feelings of deprivation and makes meals satisfying for your pup.
