Glen, We have 4 cavaliers that used to do the same thing. The new routine is to throw toys or balls until they are ALL, out of breath while the other of us cooks dinner. When dinner is called they roar into the house for a drink and collapse under the table to breath. It is hard for a cavalier that is catching his breath to beg effectively. No one, and I mean not even my mother, is allowed in any way shape or form to feed or pet them when we are sitting down to dinner. If they put there paws up on us to beg, we are not allowed to even look at them as we place one of our feet on top of the hind foot and gently press until they get off and then we still don't talk to them or look at them. They must understand that the action is not acceptable without being told. This is a hard thing to do but is well worth it in the long run. I am happy to say after the rules were laid down 4 months ago we no longer have beggars at our table. Don't get me wrong they still receive little goodies but they are brought to the kitchen and made to sit or lay or play dead for those very tiny scrapes of food.
