Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Male | neutered | 10 years and 1 month old
My dog (a beagle) is Constantly getting to the table and eating food. We often send him to his kennel or hold his snout, point to the table, and say no. But, I have heard you should not do that and he never listens anyway. So, what should I do?

Startle him in the act. Set up cans filled with loud objects precariously positioned so when he jumps up it all crashes around and startled him. Set this up time and time again. Best of luck and thank you for using Pet Coach.
