answer:I put up with begging at the dinner table – never did manage to train that out of the dog. She chews on the miniblinds if she’s home by herself and can’t see outside to bark at passers-by – we have accommodated her by leaving the blinds up or else have blocked her access to them. She is not allowed on the people couch, but goes up there anyway – scoldings are met with the appropriately termed ‘hangdog expression” and an unspoken, insincere promise not to ever do it again, never. That’s it.
