I have a 80 lb. Chow-Sheppard mix, If she sets a certain way on our hardwood floor, she makes a LOUD fart. She will look around to see if anyone is watching. If we are, she puts her head down and walks away like she has just been scolded for being bad.
She is my first dog, I was 32 when I got her as a pup. I had no idea that it was bad to feed her from the table. I would even give her chunks of steak on a fork (seperate fork), which she would take very gently.
I was spoiling her (still do) and had no idea how bad it was for her to eat table scraps. The Vet filled me in on this practice real quick. The problem was that she had gotten used to it. She didn't jump up and beg or anything. It was the "Puppy Dog" look that she gave me.
I still wanted to feed her and make her happy but didn't want to harm her. I got some doggie treats to keep on the table (covered and non-stinky). Now I can still feed her from the table and not hurt her. She is happy and so am I.
