Begging/steeling

[Stoney666]

Just that really, becoming a real problem tried all the training techniques but gutsy just not listening any mums net advice always greatly appreciated :) x

Ignore ignore ignore. Never reward the begging behaviour, not even once. Is it when you're eating? Fill a kong for pup and pop in crate of you have one. Make sure your pups not hungry, too. I feed my boy his dinner when DCs eat theirs, e then gets a bone/chew a couple of hours later when Im eating. Never begs. Hth.

Always ignore and try yo feed when we eat etc but he literally pinched crisps out of bowl I was carrying yesterday no amount of off etc made a difference he was like a dog possessed and, he had just eaten!!!!!

Always eat at the table and never leave food out.

What age can he have bones and should I reduce dry food if he has one??

[Inthepotty]

Maybe reduce a little bit if feeding a big bone. Always gave bones (marrow, from butcher) to my dogs from puppy-hood. Don't over face him with a massive one though, or one too tiny (risk of choking!)

Stag bars are good, can get them from eBay, there should be a guide to what size is right, too.

Everytime pup jumps and gets food, like the sausage roll, he is self-rewarding. Ie jumping up to grab, works for him as he gets the yummy treat. Practise lots of sits, rewarding him for the correct behaviour (sitting and waiting.)

Kikopup on YouTube has a fab video for teaching a default 'leave it' command.

Remember he's only a baby, they don't come with manners!

Stag bars in post thank you x

If pup isn't keen straight away, try soaking in water/chicken stock overnight to soften a bit. My boy will spend ages with his. Also look out for it hiding behind sofa cushions!
