We have adopted (well almost) a lovely stray from the rehoming kennels where we live. (Not UK)
He was found as a stray in January but they think he was dumped as his nature is too good to be a typical stray (strays are a massive issue here)
I he's around 2 and toilet trained, lovely natured and fantastic with the kids
We visited lots and this is our trial before we decide to have him as a member of our family
I really want this to work because he's a lovely little dog.
I always imagined that food would be an issue for him because of him being a stray at some point but how do I get round this ?
He literally chases my kids around jumping up trying to get what they have,tries to get on the table, chair anything he can to get their food.
Should I put him in the kitchen whilst they are eating ?or just carry on telling him no and getting him off whatever he's jumped on to get to them?
I really want this to work out but want to know how to give him the best chance !
He has never been aggressive regarding food just really cheeky and curious about it
