Pets in the dining area is generally a bad idea.
You do not sit ON a dining table, you sit AT one. And you place your hands in your lap unless you are eating.
The ideal seat to table height for comfortable dining is typically around 18 inches for a standard dining chair. This allows for proper alignment of the body and arms while eating.
Reading while eating can be enjoyable for some, as it allows for multitasking and can enhance the dining experience. However, it may lead to mindless eating, where one is less aware of portion sizes and flavors. Additionally, distractions can detract from social interactions if dining with others. Ultimately, it's a personal preference, but being mindful of the activity may improve the overall experience.
Your dog should not even be in the dining room while you are eating. In a pack, the alpha dog eats first and the lowest of the pack eats last. Because your dog is in the dining room at the same time as you when you eat, he or she thinks that they are an alpha. That is why your dog is barking at you - he or she is ordering you to give food. This is your own fault. Do not have the dog in the dining room while you eat. That will remind the dog that they are not an alpha in this family pack and they will eat when the alpha (the owner) says so. Another point to add - dogs should never eat before humans or at the same time as humans. They should get their meal AFTER the humans have finished theirs, in order to keep the pack hierarchy balanced (and therefore stop the barking).
When dining, crossing a fork and knife on your plate signifies that you are taking a break or finished eating. This signals to the server that they can clear your plate. It is considered proper etiquette to place the fork over the knife in a crossed position on the plate when you are done eating.
The State Dining Room is the usual location. The East Room has also been used at times for formal dining because of its larger size, while the Family Dining Room fills in for smaller luncheons.
One reason could be that the kids are used to eating in other locations, such as before the television, and they want to watch TV or play games while eating. For them, a dining room may be too formal a setting, where they're required to behave better than they might elsewhere.
Have get together's with family, while eating, and telling funny stories.

If a Person who uses a wheelchair wishes to sit in their own wheelchair at a Dining table then there should be no problem. The person may feel a lot more comfortable in their own chair and not want the fuss of having to get out of the chair just to suit other people. There is nothing wrong with sitting in a wheelchair while eating! I do and have done it all my life.
In many cultures, resting your hands on the table while eating is generally considered acceptable, as long as your elbows are off the table. However, in some formal dining settings, it may be seen as impolite. It's always best to observe the norms of the specific dining situation or follow the lead of your hosts. Ultimately, being mindful of the setting can help you navigate these social cues.
When dining in Japanese restaurants you should start by saying hello, use chopsticks and don't use them to point when talking, do not pass food with your chopsticks and put sauces into bowls not on the food.
You can wear an abdominal belt while eating if you choose to do so. It really should not be worn while sleeping because it constricts you too much.
