I find it annoying that my dog can't let me eat. She's always staring at me and at my feet when I open a bag of chips, am eating a meal, etc, etc. She wants crumbs or is waiting for something to fall on the floor.
I've given up on dealing with it though. It seems like a moot point since her other owners won't stop giving her human treats. They always sneak pieces of food from the table, give her food while on the couch, etc, etc.
It doesn't seem possible to train her to not want food when she's being rewarded from it. Training isn't situational, right?
I also give her food while sitting down, but it's dog treats. I train her behavioral issues by using positive reinforcement (dog treats) at random or when she shoes a behavior. If I hear a noise outside and she doesn't react, I'll give her a treat. I am usually sitting down when this happens.
