A free snack…just sitting there…smells so good….no one is around, so they must not want it…your dog is more than happy to eat any food that apparently was left unguarded.

Why would you deem it necessary to discipline or get upset with your dog for taking any of your food that you left just sitting there?

Believe it or not, there are people that would actually get upset with their dog for doing that and not get upset with themselves for leaving FOOD unsupervised, when they know their dog is capable of getting it.

Should dogs be so highly trained as to not touch anything, especially food, that doesn’t belong to it?

In an ideal world, then maybe that could be the case, but in this reality, a dog will go with its instincts every time, hands down. Head on over to the website of Oakridge Animal Clinic to know more.
