Does your neighbor feed your dog treats?  |
| |
| Our next door neighbors are terrific and friendly people. We have this scratch my back, I'll get that itch for you kinda thing going on. We got our dog when she was 8 months old. She is now almost 3. I think we have gotten one bag of treats for her in that time. The dog now daily begs at the side fence. She waits for one of them to get home, and the whining begins. Soon after, a treat flies over the fence. Effectively they have taught her to beg. How would you deal with it? We have spoken to them about it. | | | | | |

| | I think it is very sweet that they do that. I don't think that it is hurting anything that they do that. It sounds like they enjoy doing it, and it gives them and the dog something to look forward to each day. I don't think the dog is begging, he is just letting him know he is there and ready to receive what he is used to receiving. Af this point it would a difficult habit for your dog to break. This is just my opinion but I would just let things stay as they are. It is not truly hurting anyone, and probably makes the neighbors happy. | | | | | | |

| | What did you say to them and how did they respond? My dog is big and very friendly, so everyone likes him and they want to give him treats. I tell everyone he's on a diet, he is a large dog and has to be kept in shape. Otherwise it hurts his legs. If someone disobeyed my wishes it'd be serious business because they'd be harming my dog. Also, all those treats have wheat in them and a large percentage of dogs are allergic to wheat. If the neighbors know it's not just giving the dog a treat, there are other issues at play, maybe they'd stop doing it. As far as the begging goes, I'd be mighty pi$$ed off. I believe we, as owners, have the complete and total right to decide what behaviors our animals learn. | | | | | | |

| | As far as I know my neighbors do not give the dogs treats. We live in the country though and the nearest neighbors are not all that close, so if they are I would not know about it. If you really have a problem with it and you have spoken to them about it and they keep doing it I would mention it to them again. Does the begging carry over into the house or is it only an at the fence thing? | | | | | | |

| | They have fed my dogs scraps before but nothing like dog treats and such. As long as they didn't feed her any bones I was fine. I have had animals die because they fed them bones. Small dogs aren't meant to eat certain types of bones. If they wanted to buy the dog treats I really wouldn't have a problem because that is just their way of saying they like the dog if they didn't enjoy it they wouldn't feed her the treats. | | | | | | |
