Hello hello! It's been a couple months, but I'm back with a question that's been bugging me as I plan for a spring pup.
I've done some searching about this, and apparently when trainers refer to 'dinner time', it's the animal's meal time. I'm wondering about training during the family's meal time...
I think I'd prefer (ideally) doggy goes to lie down while we're eating until afterward when he gets to eat.
How/when do you start training for dinner time with a pup? I don't necessarily want to crate the dog, but maybe I should while he's young? I understand food would be a pretty big distraction...
Thanks in advance... thoughts?
