when you are eating, if he comes near to you, your plate or any other member of the family, you should tell him no, back off, or even if you have to move him backwards a few paces then he will get the idea. QUOTE]


i do agree with you here providing you can stay strong!!!!! this is how mine were taught - and i dont have any problems at dinner - but if you dont think you can be strong id think about moving him to a different room....... it all depends how stong you can stay when they are trying their best to make you feel guilty!!!!!!! ( my oh nearly gave in a couple of times - good job i stayed strong!!!!! the only prob we have is with our cats trying to 'nick' our dinner - never worked with them they are more persitant!!!!!)

i think you just nee to let him settle in and see what works for you.... cant wait to see pics.....
