How to stop my dog from stealing food from my babies hands

Teach a place command while there's food around or crate/separate the dog.

I keep my dogs (lab & spaniel) separate from my son when he’s eating because I have the same issue. I tried different tricks google recommended but nothing seemed work🤷🏽‍♀️ xx

Baby gate to separate x

Either just physical management, like other suggested like baby gates, or you could try implementing the rule of like “food on the floor is up for grabs but when someone is holding food it’s not for dogs” but that is more time intensive the way I’d go about doing it tho is keeping either a small bit of the food their tryna steal or a high value treat and toss it on the floor AWAY from when your child is.

This is what we do: When my kids have food the dogs must be in their beds. Anything that fall to the ground belongs to them but only when the children have completed their meal and have left the table.Then the dogs get invited to come eat. If your dog is really pushy with food and won’t listen to commands…lock them up. Put them in a separate room, or appropriate size crate or some kind of blocking (baby gate). If child is walking around snacking and the dogs snatch food from my kids hands… i would immediately punish the dogs. It’s important you take the time out to create firm and clear boundaries with your animal regarding food. Example (not saying this is your dog or home) don’t let them in the kitchen when cooking. Don’t let them hang out under the dinner table when eating ANYTHING. Don’t feed them bites of human food when you’re actively eating. Don’t let them (if they can) jump on the table to lick crumbs up or snatch food. Strict boundaries!

We have this problem with food too but also the dog is CONSTANTLY licking his hands and it is the most annoying thing! I get so irritated with the dog. We try to separate them if eating outside of the high chair (little dog) but the licking is all. the. Time. Just here to say babies and dogs together are hard!

We couldn’t solve the problem. So during meals or snack times the dogs go outside or in separate part of the house. I don’t let them in kitchen even when I’m cooking because not only do I have kids under my feet. I have dogs.

I would separate them. My dogs are not food aggressive but I feed them separate and when my kids are eating the dogs are not in the room. It's not worth it I have heard to many horror stories of a kid getting attacked for this reason
