Pup taking food from my 14month son

Sasha is almost 4 months but she eats for England! She could have just had a good sized meal and will still want more...and more.

The issue we have at the moment is whenever my 14 month old son has food in his hand, she will try and take it from him. She will listen if we say no but will always go back and try again a minute or two later.

Just need some advice on whats the best method to get her out of this habit as its becoming annoying now?

I think you need to teach the leave command or perhaps ask her to go to her bed when your son is eating so she's not walking around him, it's so tempting for her to want to take the food from him, it probably smells great.

I would stop saying no to her personally, you need to get the leave command in before she looks like she's going to take the food and then distract her with something else.

She's still so young you should have no problems stopping this with the right commands.
