Training dogs to eat: Establishing the owner’s prestige

Healthy dogs have a strong appetite, and eating training should be done before feeding. When the owner gives food, the dog usually behaves very excited, and sometimes jumps on people and barks. The owner needs to use a dog leash to pull the dog, or block the dog with his hands to prevent it from eating, and shout the command "no eating" in his mouth. The dog is not allowed to move half a step forward, and the dog must sit in front of the food utensil. If the dog complies, the owner can immediately stroke the dog's head, praise it, and then give the "eat" command and let the dog eat. With such repeated training, the dog gradually develops the habit of not eating without the owner's command. This behavior reflects the absolute authority of the owner.
