He was never fed titbits and he never hung around when we were eating. If the dog comes to play all the time, just ignore it and it will go away. Then call it back on your terms and play with it then.
It may sound really harsh, but it does work. He was a great little dog and had none of the problems usually associated with the breed.

Thanx ... I think I will try this tough love approach because it looks as if she will be with me permanently now.
