Answer:
Some people feel that although they wouldn't spoil their kids, with the dog they get to satisfy that human inherent desire to give generously to loved ones. However good it feels at the time, the dog almost always pays the penalty. If a person gives the dog everything it wants, many dogs develop negative habits. If the dog misunderstands its role and begins trying to control humans and desired resources, canine frustration can often lead to aggression.

Spoiling the dog by giving food from the table not only creates obesity, but also dental disease, spoiled appetite, and begging. Allowing a dog to be unruly with guests (jumping up, pawing, mounting, crotch sniffing, etc.) makes it unpleasant to have the dog around new people, and prevents the dog from having some great canine social experiences. A simple solution for most canine unruly behavior is to interrupt (not punish) it immediately to prevent a bad habit from developing, and temporarily insist the dog sit to receive all human touch and attention.

Allowing the dog to pull on a leash instead of using a head halter may make it so unpleasant to walk the dog that it does not get the pleasure of exercise and "sniff excursions" into the neighborhood.
