Is There a Way to Get My Dog to End His Annoying Habit of Stealing Food?
As a child, I would never want to characterize myself as a brat.  I would rather say that I would sometimes be slightly naughty in a cute and precocious sort of way.  To be honest, I just liked to bug my parents from time to time.  I would normally bug Mom more than Dad. I don’t know why, I just did.
So, what do my childhood confessions do with today’s topic regarding your dog stealing food from the table? Let me recant one of my “cute and precocious” incidents.
Mom ate lunch every day at the same time and always had the same thing. She had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on wonder bread with butter and a single slice of lettuce. She also had half a sliced pear with a dollop of mayonnaise and six to ten Ruffle potato chips.
She always left the “best chip” until the end of her lunch. (You know the “best chip”. It is the biggest one that is still whole.)  Just as she was finishing and ready to have her chip, I would swoop in from behind, grab the chip, run off, and eat it just out of her reach.
In other words, I stole her chip (or food). I knew it was wrong, but then I was just “cute and precocious”.
When your dog steals food from the table, he may not know that it is wrong.  You may have set up an ongoing environment that tells him that it is OK to “take your food” and you are allowing it. The bottom line is that you don’t want your dog to steal your food. You need to let him know it is always wrong.
Robin and I have a great dog training article that will allow you to quickly teach your dog that stealing your food is wrong.  Please read our dog training blog titled “Is There a Way to Get My Dog to End His Annoying Habit of Stealing Food”.

YES YES I NEED THIS SIGN IN EVERY SINGLE PARK PLEASE
This is my daily struggle, I had so many arguments with people with off-leash dogs (in a mandatory leash area!!!). Thanks to this behavior I'm struggling with Kim being anxious/aggressive with other females as she often gets involved in unpleased interactions with free females while on leash. And every single time that I ask for the dog to be at least recalled, I'm being called names and insulted of course.
Also 9 out of 10 their dog isn't really that friendly at all.

Me: Why does no one crate train their dog anymore?
Me, scrolling the comments on a cute video of a puppy sleeping in a comfortable crate: I’m starting to understand why all the dogs at work act like they’ve never been crated in their life.

Sometimes the casual sexism in the dog hobby drives me insane. Your bitch is not less affectionate than your dog because she's a bitch. She might be less affectionate because of her bloodline or breed, or your expectations placed on her, or very likely because she was your second dog and had to split attention with your male dog from the time she came home.
Your male dog is not inherently more loyal, or less intelligent, or more aggressive just because he's a male. Sexual dimorphism does exist, but it affects things like how much your dog wants to mark during a walk, not their entire social structure and way of learning and interacting with you.

I must admit it exhausts me a bit when people compare the interactions between the companions in da2 and veilguard and complain that the veilguard crew don't argue viciously enough or don't have enough fundamental unbridgeable ideological differences. like yeah it's almost like dragon age 2 is a game specifically about implacable human discord in all its forms and that's the theme the companions also build up under and provide a lens to look at. and perhaps. just maybe. veilguard is doing something different and also interesting thematically if you look at it for what it actually is, and its companions are playing into those themes instead (come become beside me my friend none of us have this figured out but at least we have each other along the way. you must struggle with who you are. despite the high high stakes on paper, veilguard (sometimes to its detriment, often to its advantage once you realize this is what it's doing) is really not that interested in outward conflict, between ideas or groups or individuals -- most of the real meat and potatoes is in the internal struggle of the characters with themselves and their identities, the ways they've been changed and also stay the same, it's weirdly deeply trans all the way to the depths of the narrative that way, as well as fundamentally being about trauma recovery. again, what you're ultimately fighting is not actually in the realm of elgar'nan and ghilan'nain at all, it's on the level of solas' despair and his regret over what he's done and who he's become).
tl;dr why are we pitting two bad bitches against each other etc. they're literally both pretty and I love them

Why is the anime so weird, it's not even the same series dude?? It's like,
Anime:
GOKU: I have a great idea to bring peace to the universe, and my leadership and compassion alone will unite us all. I have No Flaws and am A True Relatable Everyman :)
VEGETA: NO! I AM THE BEST AND I WILL CAUSE PROBLEMS UNTIL I AM RECOGNIZED AS SUCH!!!!
Manga:
GOKU: Vegeta what's cornmeal made of? I know it's what the corn eats, but what's it made of? VEGETA: Hey Kakarot let's play the quiet game until one of us dies.
#dbtag#I do not understand this writing it's so bad aklsdlkasjd#Toei wants Goku to be Clark Kent SO bad and he SO isn't lmao#they're so good and dumb and rounded and complex in the manga what is the anime so afraid of#Toriyama said 'no no this man is a detached faux-immortal who has a dear pure heart but he's childlike and selfish even though he's kind'#and toei went 'got it goku's never done anything wrong ever in his life'#toriyama said 'Vegeta's gone through a lot and he's finally settling into his more mature leadership role with the confidence he's earned'#and toei said 'got it vegeta has the confidence of a high school bully except now he can interact with his family as a comedy bit'#girl hWHAT#Toei trying to group Goku and Vegeta as two people who would rather train than be with their families and Toriyama said NO Vegeta wants#to be HOME this is the first time in years that he's HAD ONE and it makes him HAPPY to be with his wife and children!!#Vegeta trains so that he can protect the things he doesn't want to lose again and Goku trains because it's the thing that makes him happies#They are NOT the same lmao And yeah Vegeta still wants to beat Goku but he also knows that Gohan could dogwalk both of them if he wanted#He also knows Trunks and Goten are going to surpass them it's not about being the best anymore he's past that he just wants to Not Need Gok#He just doesn't want to have to rely on Goku to save the day he wants to be Enough on his own he just wants to know he can be#because every time it's mattered he WASN'T and people he loved were lost to his inability to protect them and he carries that#Like Whis diagnosed him with anxiety and cptsd out in the open and Beerus said he was self-centered for feeling guilt#+ he lowkey enjoys the rivalry it keeps him goal-oriented so he can't get complacent and lazy which is what triggered his Buu Saga breakdow#realized how Fucked Up it was that having a home and loving family made him feel like he was failing and went 'wait no I won actually??'#now he's chill as fuck in the manga. cool confident leader.#and sometimes he is childish and dumb with Goku as a treat#you know what rocks about his rivalry with Goku in Super though is that it's Playful. Vegeta is learning how to Play.#You ever seen a shelter dog get introduced to a really playful dog and it takes a minute for the shelter dog to understand it's safe here#And then they're both running around the backyard playing hot potato with one braincell?? That's Goku and Vegeta's relationship#and the way the anime sleeps on that dynamic is so fucking criminal especially when it's literally canon it's in print it's out there#you had the playbook how'd you fumble it this bad#anyway that's my 25+ year blorbo thoughts I love Geets a lot okay#And I love Goku in the manga a lot I'd forgotten that he's actually a great character when Toei's not fucking up his whole vibe

What Steps Can I Take to Have Thanksgiving a Great Time for Everyone, Including My Dog?
Holidays are always great times.  Although most holidays mean that “we get a day off from work”, there are a lot of other things that go on besides that.  Different holidays mean different things. On the 4th of July, we usually gather with our friends outside somewhere, fire up the barbeque, and watch fireworks. 
On Easter we normally go to church and then look for Easter eggs with our kids.  On Memorial Day we remember the sacrifices that so many American soldiers gave so that we could live in the land of the free and the brave. 
Many of our holidays are based on the premise that we will be sharing it with our family.  Many of our family could be the ones we live with every day, and many could be the ones that have traveled across the country to share that time with us.  Although most of these holidays are still only one day long, the activities and conditions related to these holidays could last for several days or more.
Holidays are special and there are often unique activities that take place on them.  Since they are “our holidays”, we understand this and are prepared for the day.  The problem is that our dog normally has no idea what is taking place.  On top of that, we probably haven’t adjusted our “holiday action plan” to include their participation and natural reactions.  Thanksgiving is such a holiday.  We know what is going on, but our dog doesn’t have a clue.  This could be bad.
Robin and I have a great dog training article that explains what to do to prepare your family, your family guests, and your dog for the events and conditions surrounding the celebration of Thanksgiving.  Please take a moment and read our dog training blog titled “What Steps Can I Take to Have Thanksgiving a Great Time for Everyone, Including My Dog”.

i don’t doomscroll or ruminate anymore (interruption, dissociation alert)

i can sit through a meal without dissociating, and enjoy it! (grounding, sensory stimulation, dpt)
i can deescalate my anger (interruption, grounding, dpt)

During World War II, even dogs pitched in. Nearly 400,000 Boys Club of America members throughout the nation participated in a victory program to train themselves for the part they might have had to play in the war and in defense industries. Many of the clubs also adopted dogs and carrier pigeons. In this photo, Richard Barnes of the Madison Square Boys Club teaches his dog Hercules to hold a stick in his mouth after finding a “wounded soldier,” April 1, 1942.
