Summary

Graeme Hall explains how to make your dog understand the difference between human food and their own dog food. He recently met Ilana and cockapoo Bailey on TV’s Dogs Behaving Very Badly; Bailey used to snatch food out of people’s hands, steal food from picnics, and jump on tables hoping for some grub, but Graeme put some boundaries in place that mean Bailey can now calmly sit nearby when his family are at the dinner table. The Dogfather also gives advice to a listener whose whippet constantly jumps up at kitchen counters in search of food. Do you have a question for The Dogfather? Send Graeme a voice note and a video of your pesky pooch to [email protected].

Now we know that and that's why we often use a treat as a reward in training.

But we only want them to eat what we deem appropriate for them to eat.

0:55.3

Your dog needs to know what's their food and what's your food. Now, I recently met Cockapoo Bailey

1:00.6

on TV's dogs behaving very badly. He was intent on eating all the food, like dog food,

1:06.5

human food. It was all the same to him and he'd stop at nothing to get it.

Ilana, Bailey is your lovely dog.

1:18.4

Can you describe the mayhem that was triggered as soon as a family member got any food out?

It went absolutely crazy in our household.

1:25.3

Whether we would be at home or whether we'd be at family members or whether we'd be at friends, the minute Bailey smelt any scent of

1:30.9

food, he would literally think it was his and everything, his whole mannerisms, all his

1:37.1

mannerisms, everything about him would just automatically change and he'd be on just full alert,
