The easiest way to spoil a dog is to 'hand feed' him or her as soon as they come home from the 'doggy' hospital. With our dog Rusty (who weighs over 120 lbs), that is exactly what we did.
Now, we weren't intentionally trying to spoil him, but that is what happened. Every meal, he expected to be served one piece of food at a time. If we didn't serve him this way, he got mad and barked until he got his way.
10+ years later, the pattern continues. Fortunately, he only requires the first 10 or 15 pieces to be served one at-a-time. He eventually finishes the rest on his own.
There are more Rusty stories to come (this dog is "king" of this castle).
