In this eleventh volume of the Dog-On Good Dog's Beginning Obedience and Basic Manners course you will establish your dominance by solidifying your position as the Alpha-leader through assuming and then enforcing the food rights. You will demonstrate to your dog that all the dog food, his bones, and any other food type treat, belong to you. He will come to understand, that you possess the food rights, giving you the privilege to give or take from him any type of food. While he is eating you will be able to approach him and take his food away from him, without him growling, barking, or acting aggressive toward you in any manner. Likewise, your dog will not be possessive of his bones or food treats. When you are ready to feed your dog, your dog will go into the "Sit" position, "Stay" and when given the command "Food" or "Take It" will be free to eat his meal or get his bone or food treat. You will also learn how to use the "Heel" command to take your dog away from his food bowl, bones, or food treats and the "Drop It" and "Give It to Me" commands to take from him small bones or food treats. You will also show your dog that all the people's food in the house, food on the table, food on the counters or are completely off-limits to him. If your dog begs for food, steals food, or gets in the trash you will use the commands "Leave It," "Not Yours," "Dog Out" and "Drop It" to teach your dog to stop this inappropriate behavior. You will also learn to use the "Go to Your Spot" command as preventative measure to thwart your dog from begging at the table. You also learn how to deal any problems with multiple dogs during mealtimes or during the times that you are allowing them to eat their bones or food treats. You will learn what to do when your dog begs for food at the table, steals food from the tables or the counters, takes food from children or if he comes to consider the trash his own personal smorgasbord.
