Begging
Begging can be annoying and disruptive. If you don’t want your pet to beg, then friends or members
of the family should not encourage this behavior. This means every time your pet begs, he should be
reprimanded or redirected to an alternate and acceptable behavior, for which he can receive praise.
1. Ensure the Treat Dispenser is on and ready to use.
2. As soon as your pets begins to beg, press the Handheld Remote button and dispense the
treats/kibble.
3. Immediately praise him after he eats the treats/kibble.
4. Practice this several times. Be consistent. Your dog will learn to redirect his focus from begging
to the Treat Dispenser.
NOTE: Ensure you ignore your dog at the table. Don’t make eye contact when he is begging. Keep
the remote with you each time you are going to be in situations where your dog begs.

treats/kibble, begin treating him from the Train 'n Praise ™ .
