I said I would never feed our dog real food only dog food. But these puppies--ya give an inch --they take a mile! He turns his nose to cheerios because my daughter dropped alphabet cereal one day.

I would give him tiny pieces of egg in the morning....so now he demands it! He absolutely loves turkey. I can't make myself a sandwich without him begging. Any way to turn back the clock?

You could try and give him dog food when he asks for your food, or ignore his begging, maybe eventually he will stop.

I gave my dogs a treat each time they went out potty- well they learned quickly to trick me... they would run out, squat and do nothing, run back in and wait for their treat.... took me a while to figure out why they needed to go out so much.

Yes, I still let them get away with it... but I have cut their treats down to real small pieces... very small.

It is amazing how smart they are
