How to Counter a Counter Surfer

Here are some educational videos on how to teach your dog not to steal food from the table, well educational of a sort I suppose.

The first video demonstrates the use of a mousetrap, a simple but rather ingenious method to repel the little culprit, unfortunately, it can become a bit messy as well.

If getting-things-messy isn’t really your thing, then you better skip directly to the next puppy training video.

Best Defensive Tactic against Counter Surfing

Although the following method  might be different than you ever used or experienced  before, I think this is how it should be done but as I’m not an expert at all, I strongly to ignore anything I said.

I’m glad to have had to opportunity to clear that up, feeling much better now, but seriously, you really should give the next method a try, because it is all about giving yourself (and your Lab of course) permission to make mistakes and try again. Be patient with yourself, with your Lab, and with this process.

So, let’s do this in an educationally responsible manner and forget about the use of mousetraps and other gadgets your dog – And I – will thank you for it
