You can however minimise these incidents, the first place to start is by implementing a consistent routine for the following areas of your dogs daily life!

You have to be consistent have a routine for feeding your dog this will stop him having to remind you to feed him.

Make sure that during the exercising or outside it if at all possible that quality play is built into your daily routine consistently.
