Putting the kibosh on a counter-surfing pooch’s food theft
My daughter has an 8-month-old malamute who counter surfs and gets on the dining room table.
Dogs can be highly motivated by rewards. Consider in the case of your daughter’s dog, the first time the dog sniffed around on the counter or got up on the table, he or she was rewarded with a delicious treat. Even if the pup only found food once, that’s enough motivation to keep trying. Start the training process by teaching the dog the “leave it” command. Put a treat in each hand and extend one closed fist toward the dog, letting it sniff. Say “leave it,” and when the dog stops sniffing, say “Yes,” and offer the dog a treat from the other hand. Continue with the “leave it” training until the dog immediately stops sniffing when given the command. Then move on to phase two.
