Mealtime Manners

I would like my dogs to sit so politely for their meals. How do you train them to be so mannerly? My dogs are jumping all over the place when I fix them their food. It is very annoying.

I teach my dogs to sit for their food. They are to sit and stay politely until released. I make them stay until their food is on the floor in front of them. This process helps the dog to understand that I am the boss. I am in charge of the food. It is also very nice to not have a dog jumping all over me when I am preparing his food.
