To stay somewhat ON topic... Gorge/Fast may very well help here. She
will learn that she eats her food when it is given to her and that that
might not be everyday... but when she if fed she will be able to stuff
her greedy little belly full to the top, and be happy! Food will again
become just food - a way to stay alive, and not a way to get attention..

Clearly she knows how to do what she is trained to do. So, she must
have been trained to act this way. Or, she has trained you to let her
act this way -- more likely.

If she is never rewarded for her over the top begging, it will stop.
If however she is seen as cute and tidbits are tossed to her, even once
every 20 or 30 times, it will not stop. And, if she is rewarded once in
a while on a variable schedule, you are truly proofing the behavior to
last a lifetime. She is playing the slot machines.... and she is sure
the jackpot is just one more begging session away....

If everyone stops even acknowledging her when she is acting this way,
totally ignore her, it will stop. IF she has been dong it for a while,
it will take a long tme to stop and it will get worse before it gets
better. And, if you give in even once you will have to start all over
again.
