It's a natural behavior for your dog to want to be a part of the action (especially when food is involved). To keep your dog away from the dining area it would be a good idea to crate train him so he is not around at meal time. Also, giving him his own snack that will occupy him (like a Kong stuffed with frozen peanut butter) while you are having dinner should help.
