  Dogs can endure hunger but not fullness, so as long as there is food in front of them, they often cannot resist temptation even if their stomachs are full. Therefore, if the owner does not remove the food in time, they often sneak a few bites. Sometimes, this causes overeating and digestive problems. So how can we make dogs stop stealing food?

  To prevent dogs from stealing food, the first thing we must do is put the food where they cannot find it. After each feeding, if there is leftover food, the bowl should be removed immediately. If you accidentally forget to put it away and the dog seizes the opportunity to steal food, you must loudly stop it. If the dog does not listen, you can gently hit it or strictly reprimand it. After repeated stimulation, the dog will understand that stealing food will be scolded by the owner, which can effectively change their stealing behavior.

  In addition, good habits are formed during daily care. Owners should not indulge their dogs and try not to feed them human food. They should not eat and feed at the same time. Bad habits can cause dogs to grab food themselves when craving, and frequent consumption of human food is also bad for the dog's health.

  To make dogs stop stealing food, good dietary habits must be established. Feeding should be done regularly and on time. This can also effectively improve stealing behavior. Bad habits should be corrected in time, and the owner's attitude during training should be firm and strict to achieve good results. (Source: PetsZone)
