Graeme Hall explains how to make your dog understand the difference between human food and their own dog food. He recently met Ilana and cockapoo Bailey on TV’s Dogs Behaving Very Badly; Bailey used to snatch food out of people’s hands, steal food from picnics, and jump on tables hoping for some grub, but Graeme put some boundaries in place that mean Bailey can now calmly sit nearby when his family are at the dinner table.

The Dogfather also gives advice to a listener whose whippet constantly jumps up at kitchen counters in search of food.
