I'm curious.
I feed my dog from the table if I'm eating anything remotely dog appropriate, and of course as a result she now begs pretty often (not 100% of the time but regularly). My mom and the rest of my family, but my mom especially, HATES it. Her biggest pet peeve is begging dogs and she gets so mad that I feed Nika when I'm eating, she says I should at least put it in her bowl, but really shouldn't do it at all. I say hey, my dog my life. I like feeding her from the table, couch, wherever I'm eating, it makes both of us happy. And I really don't mind the begging at all, she doesn't do anything, just stands a few feet away and looks at you, never tries to take food from your hand(unless you offer it) or off the table, never even gets up in your space like some dog's do when they beg. She's a good girl.
I just don't see the problem w it when it's my own dog. I'd never spoil someone else's dog like that (okay I spoiled my former roommate's dog a teeny bit, just on occasion, but she was okay w it, I always check first).
What about you all, are your dogs spoiled like mine? Or do you keep food strictly to the bowl?
