My 4 month old pup makes eating meals stressful. He barks and jumps onto our table and pulls at our clothes to give him our food. We try to eat around the same time he eats his meals but he finishes his food too quickly and rushes over back to beg at the table. How can we train him to stop this?

This is not unusual and it is VERY important to NEVER give him anything from the table or this will encourage the behavior. It will be easiest to train Papu to go to his crate when it's time for you to eat and leave him there until dinner is over.
