dog behavior scared

How I can show my dog what he did was inappropriate?

My dog just got on the table and ate a hamburger. Never done this before. My dad was very mad and very scared the dog. I would like to find a way to discourage this type of behavior, without hitting the dog on the rump or scream so loud that the neighbors awake. He is a 11-year old 13-inch beagle. Thanks!

you pretty much have to catch the dog in the act and correct him in time. The problem with stealing food is rewarding your self-behaved, and difficult to break. Hitting and yelling usually solves the problem. Work on the "leave it" command .. any food off tempting. have something better in your hand or pocket .. walking the dog on a leash close to the subject .. when you show an interest .. said that "what leave, "he gently pulled away from food, then praise and reward when he directed his attention to it .. work on this several times a day .. must at some time will be able to put food on somewhere, like the coffee table, and work on this with your dog off leash. Also train your dog to stay out of the kitchen when food and meals are prepared / eaten. diligient be for not leaving food unattended outside as well.
