I must admit, i will make them work though for the extra "nice" bits!
They dont get away that easily!
Don't get me wrong, mine have to 'sit' and 'wait' nicely too with no whining noise.
They don't ever get left overs from plates, but they do have a sunday dinner instead of a meal when I do one - no potato though. They also have carrot for their teeth, and a few meaty dog treats when we leave the house - that's their routine for knowing when we're going out, and they know it

I just think they're in our lives for such a short time, and so long as what you give them is healthy and you reduce food accordingly, then I let mine have a little something nicer that dog food, that's all
