I started carefully, you must take it very easy when you train humans, if they dont understand what you want, they will feel unsafe.

First I sit down by the table (not too close) trying to look really hungry.When I get his attention I trie to look as sweet as possible, he is rather easy to fool, so I just had to tilt my head a little and look into his eyes with an imploring expression.

Finally he understands, but refuse to give me anything.
Now it was time to be a little firmer! You must NOT give in , that can end up very badly!

I go up to him and scratch him with my paw. First he push me away and tell me to leave. I go back, of course, and repeat the procedure. You gotta to do this many times until it works,

If it still doesnt work just sit there and DREWL!!! After a while they get so disgusted that they leave and the the food is yours!! but they usually give in!.

Its so nice when your training methods gives results!
I have lately started to use another command, which he obeys even better.I poke him with my nose, harder and harder if he doesnt obey me. Its very effective. I recommend it!
