i am usually pretty down on the media but hughes and tochett just did media appearances that blew this thing up. they obviously planned to do that. so i don't blame the media any more than i blame my dog if i throw a steak at him and then try and command him to sit.

I have trained my dog that he does not eat anything I throw to him without eye contact and my permission. This includes steak, raw meat, cheese, an entire pizza... He then must successfully complete a test of sit, sit pretty, down, roll, recall, bringing me another item... Some combination of these. Never the same.

It has worked wonders for his impulse control and discipline.

Maybe you should consistently work on your dogs discipline.

There was a hilarious deepfake Jimbo video from when the Canucks re-signed Biega where he thought they’d re-signed Bieksa. I laughed so hard at it, but haven’t been able to find it again. It was on Twitter.

For someone who couldn't even tell which Granlund is the right one, I don't expect him to know the difference between Beiga and Bieksa either.

Very good. Ensure that you can never leave human food in an accessible place for dogs while I will keep my food wherever I want and still come back to it.

i guess our dogs are different. my dog won't ever beg or steal food. i will often put a raw steak on a table right beside the barbecue and go inside leaving it unattended and he won't touch it. i can put my dinner on a low coffee table and leave the room. it is not his. i can't recall a single food theft incident even as a puppy.

but if i give him a bone or a steak, as i do with venison cuts quite often, it is his and the chances are he'd gulp it down before he'd give it up. i don't hunt him but his brother hunts and is a solid bird dog, but same deal if you give the brother food. it's his food. if they did agree to give it back they'd be really pissed about it and rightly so.

if your dog needs stricter training around food, that's fine.

Yes, as my boy was a starving street dog with heavy trauma and an abused past, he did (and does) need significant training to curb his impulse control. Not limited to food only.

Cool, though. What kind of dog do you have? That's a really great trait to have in a dog, to trust 'low' food not being taken.
