So, settle in, grab a squeaky toy for emotional support, and let’s get down to business. Here are my 10 foolproof steps to ensure you get better—and more—treats from your humans. Because let’s face it, life’s too short for subpar snacks.
Humans are powerless against a well-executed head tilt. Angle your noggin slightly, let those ears droop just so, and lock eyes with a gentle, soul-stirring gaze. Add a subtle sigh, and watch how fast they produce a treat. Trust me, practice this move in the mirror for optimal results.
Why beg randomly when you can beg smart? Hover around when they’re enjoying something savory—think anything with meat or cheese. Position yourself under the table or right by their chair, and release a soft, patient whine. Not desperate, just… hopeful. Before you know it, a premium morsel will fall right into your paws.
Outside the home, be the paragon of canine virtue. Sit calmly on command, walk elegantly by their side, and impress passersby with your regal presence. Your human will beam with pride, and once you’re home, gently nudge the treat jar. They’ll reward your “good behavior” in no time.
Just ate? No problem. Act as if you haven’t been fed in weeks. Sit by your empty bowl and shoot your human a look that says, “I’m fading away over here.” Maybe toss in a dramatic sigh. They’ll be tripping over themselves to provide a tasty treat, all to soothe their own conscience.
Caught nibbling on their slippers or rearranging the trash? No worries. When discovered, lower your head, flatten your ears, and look up with those big, sorrowful eyes. Instead of scolding, they’ll feel so sorry for you that they’ll reward your “remorse” with a delicious bribe.
Humans have moods. Sad, stressed, or just plain tired—these emotional states are golden opportunities for snack score. Offer a comforting nuzzle or rest your head gently on their lap. They’ll interpret this as emotional support and reward your “sympathy” with treats. It’s a foolproof two-step: concern, then cookies.
Refuse to eat your plain old kibble once in a while. Give it a disapproving sniff and walk away dramatically. Your human will panic and try to entice you with something tastier, like premium treats from Smooching The Pooch. Mission accomplished.
Roll over, give paw, or perform another cute trick—just once. Then, hold out. Don’t do it again until they produce a snack as a “thank you” for your star performance. Simple supply and demand, canine-style.
Humans often indulge in bedtime snacks, and you should be part of that routine. Follow them into the kitchen after dark and sit quietly, wagging your tail. The guilt alone will make them offer a treat, ensuring you never miss out on the late-night buffet.
Rotate which human you shower with attention. For one day, pick your primary target—cuddle them more, follow them around, and gaze at them adoringly. Feeling special, they’ll respond with—you guessed it—snacks. By rotating the “favorite” role, you ensure a steady, well-rounded flow of treats.
