[nagdu] People food

[Julie J.]

My views on people food are extremely similar to Tracy's.  Monty doesn't 
scrounge for food when in harness.   Out of harness he will take 
advantage of opportunities, but isn't a nuisance.  Yesterday for 
example, the new shipment of dog food came.  both bags had broken open 
in the box and there was a trail of kibble.  Monty didn't hesitate to 
help get that cleaned up.  then last nightI noticed him licking the 
floor.  Apparently something was spilled earlier.

When I had house guests who didn't observe the rules about food, I did 
have a problem with him being inappropriate around food.  We had a 
discussion and the rules were strictly enforced.  It took a couple of 
weeks, but he's fine again.

The only people food I ever give my dogs is carrots. At Starbucks they have a doggie latte that is essentially a small cup of whipped cream. Nope. The dog begs enough. And I've seen dogs that got people food go into places and wave their beaks around like a sweeper, and this was a GSD. I don't really get the concept of giving the dogs people food. Understand, though, that this is just my view and the man to whom I used to be married. He was very strict about such things, and I have followed suit.
