#39 Managing Dogs' Eating Behaviors

Dogs don't instinctively know how to eat, and their eating habits vary widely. Some dogs may be cautious and sniff their food before eating, while others might quickly consume their meal and look for more. It's important to discourage your dog from scavenging for additional food after finishing its meal.

Training your dog to eat only from its bowl requires patience and consistency. Resist the urge to give in when your dog acts endearingly, as this can reinforce unwanted behaviors.
