(5,946 posts)the only food she can eat without permission is in her bowl. And, yes people keep thinking that it is cruel to do that, but people eating and dog eating are different things, My dog is also not allowed to take food off the counter (this is a constant struggle) or go into the dining room. You have to train dogs, they are not good by people spoiling them. I had someone stay with me for a month and every time I turned around she was giving the dog a treat - it is sad when someone feels they need to buy love and she was pushing the treat at the dog without using the key words. Won't be a guest too soon again. I remember when Sadie was a puppy and she walled by a shrimp dish on the coffee table. after 4 hours she could not stand it any more, and snuck a shrimp,. I reached in her mouth and removed it to a chorus of boos - I can't believe people don't train their dogs! But that is probably the cause of most of the problems.
