My dog growing up was super picky about what human food she would eat. Depending on how something was cooked (even when cooled down) she would flat out deny it (boiled chicken she would eat around or take out of her bowl)

My current dog is less picky but there’s still some foods he can safey have that he’ll spit out. Like he loves oranges but hates apples, cucumber he thinks is gross but broccoli is good.

I think a lot of dogs actually do have their preferences about what tastes good to them much like people. I guess most of the dogs in my family are “spoiled” in they get human food as a treat on a semi-regular basis.

My dog growing up hated kibble and we’d have to cook her something to eat (again spoiled). My current dog doesn’t mind kibble (but he’s very food motivated) but absolutely wants you to share with him what your eating, even if he’s going to spit it out because he doesn’t like it.

I’ve been using this to automatically skip ads on my Chromecasts (youtube ads and in video segments) for the past year.

It’s literally sponsor block but for all of my Chromecasts

I mean I have a greyhound who can countersurf, you just put baby gates around the kitchen and food. Keeping stuff out of snoot height/range removes most issues.

Part of it is training them that it isn’t an appropriate thing to do. It usually helps that if they behave (and we’re eating something the pup can safely have) they get a bit of food as a treat.

Training is a must and especially with a dog that big you need to make sure they know what is expected and appropriate. Doing that sets them up for success and makes it much easier to care for them overall.
