When it comes to food (especially left over steak), my dachshund does not manipulate-he orders. He is so cute we can’t help but follow.
My golden retriever likes to use the “Are you not entertained by my awesomeness?” look. I taught him how to open a door and since that day he has milked that trick for all it’s worth.
Appetite per weight, NOTHING will outbeg/out eat a Dachshund.
I have a Basset Hound and she has a bell on the door to let us know she wants out. But, sometimes she uses the bell to get our attention instead. As soon as I open the door she goes back a few paces and rolls over expecting a belly rub...and of course a treat.
My dog knows that if she makes me laugh, I’ll feed her. So, she will clown around for me until I cave in.
