They greet us with slobbery kisses, wagging tails, and boundless enthusiasm. But sometimes, their enthusiasm extends to areas we'd rather they stay out of, like the kitchen counter. Food thievery, a common canine caper, can be frustrating for us and potentially dangerous for our furry friends. But fear not, fellow pet parents! With a little understanding and some clever tactics, you can outsmart your counter-raiding pup and keep your food safe (and your sanity intact).</span><span style="font-size:18px;">​​​​​​​</span><br></p></div><div class="az-element az-html" style="" data-az-persist="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" data-az-id="gbrlea1bmm" data-azat-pid="gbrlea1bmm" id="gbrlea1bmm" data-azb="az_html" data-az-human-readable="HTML" data-az-human-readable-en="HTML" data-azat-an_infinite="no" data-azat-box_model="000000" data-azcnt="true"><blockquote class="tiktok-embed" cite="https://www.tiktok.com/@ameliathedogtrainer/video/6995819419209436421&q…; data-video-id="6995819419209436421" style="max-width: 605px;min-width: 325px;"> <section> <a target="_blank" title="@ameliathedogtrainer" href="https://www.tiktok.com/@ameliathedogtrainer?refer=embed">@ameliathedogt…; Stopping begging/stealing food <a title="dogtraining" target="_blank" href="https://www.tiktok.com/tag/dogtraining?refer=embed">#dogtraining</a><a title="dogtrainer" target="_blank" href="https://www.tiktok.com/tag/dogtrainer?refer=embed">#dogtrainer</a> <a title="dogs" target="_blank" href="https://www.tiktok.com/tag/dogs?refer=embed">#dogs</a> <a title="dogtok" target="_blank" href="https://www.tiktok.com/tag/dogtok?refer=embed">#dogtok</a> <a target="_blank" title="♬ original sound - Amelia the Dog Trainer" href="https://www.tiktok.com/music/original-sound-6995819060927761157?refer=e…;♬ original sound - Amelia the Dog Trainer</a> </section> </blockquote> <script async="" src="https://www.tiktok.com/embed.js"></script></div><div class="az-element az-ctnr az-column col-undefined-12" style="" data-az-id="gbsnt0olgg" data-azat-pid="gbb1f9b0vu" id="gbb1f9b0vu" data-azb="az_column" data-az-human-readable="Column" data-az-human-readable-en="Column" data-azat-width="1/1" data-azcnt="true"><div class="az-element az-text" style="" data-az-id="gbq7f6kgi8" data-azat-pid="gb43n8xdnk" id="gb43n8xdnk" data-azb="az_text" data-az-human-readable="Text" data-az-human-readable-en="Text" data-azat-box_model="000000" data-azcnt="true"><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong></strong></span><p data-sourcepos="5:1-5:42"><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong>Understanding the Why Behind the Bite:</strong></span></p><p data-sourcepos="7:1-7:202"><span style="font-size:18px;">Before we delve into the "how," let's explore the "why." Why does your seemingly innocent pup turn into a food-snatching Houdini when you're not looking? Several factors can contribute to this behavior:</span></p><ul data-sourcepos="9:1-12:0"><li data-sourcepos="9:1-9:266"><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong>Boredom and Lack of Stimulation:</strong> Dogs, especially energetic breeds, need mental and physical stimulation. If your pup is left alone for long periods or lacks engaging activities, they might turn to counter surfing for entertainment (and perhaps a tasty snack).</span></li><li data-sourcepos="10:1-10:222"><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong>Food-Driven Instinct:</strong> Our canine companions are descended from wolves, opportunistic hunters who seized any food opportunity. This instinctual drive can persist, leading your pup to view unattended food as fair game.</span></li><li data-sourcepos="11:1-12:0"><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong>Improper Training or Mixed Signals:</strong> Unintentional reinforcement, like offering scraps from the table or not consistently reprimanding counter-surfing, can confuse your dog and encourage the behavior.</span></li></ul><span style="font-size:18px;"></span></div></div><div class="az-element az-html" style="" data-az-persist="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" data-az-id="gbgzn6v50o" data-azat-pid="gbgzn6v50o" id="gbgzn6v50o" data-azb="az_html" data-az-human-readable="HTML" data-az-human-readable-en="HTML" data-azat-an_infinite="no" data-azat-box_model="000000" data-azcnt="true"><iframe sandbox="allow-popups allow-scripts allow-modals allow-forms allow-same-origin" style="width:120px;height:240px;" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" src="//ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&OneJS=1&Operation=GetAdHtml&MarketPlace=US&source=ss&ref=as_ss_li_til&ad_type=product_link&tracking_id=stormsai-20&language=en_US&marketplace=amazon&region=US&placement=B0BJGD9BJG&asins=B0BJGD9BJG&linkId=6341874171bbe37d16edcf9086b80b14&show_border=true&link_opens_in_new_window=true"></iframe>

Management is Key:</strong></span></p><ul data-sourcepos="19:1-22:0"><li data-sourcepos="19:1-19:169"><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong>Keep Food Out of Reach:</strong> This might seem obvious, but it's the first line of defense. Store food in cabinets, pantries, or on high shelves inaccessible to your dog.</span></li><li data-sourcepos="20:1-20:169"><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong>Secure the Trash:</strong> Invest in a trash bin with a lid or keep it in a closed cabinet. Leftovers and discarded food scraps are a treasure trove for opportunistic pups.</span></li><li data-sourcepos="21:1-22:0"><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong>Block Counter Access:</strong> Baby gates or physical barriers can create a clear boundary between the kitchen and the rest of the house, deterring your dog from entering the temptation zone.</span></li></ul><p data-sourcepos="23:1-23:24"><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong>2. Train and Reward:</strong></span></p><ul data-sourcepos="25:1-28:0"><li data-sourcepos="25:1-25:222"><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong>Teach "Leave It":</strong> This powerful command can be a game-changer. Train your dog to associate the cue "leave it" with stepping away from enticing objects, including food. Reward positive behavior with treats and praise.</span></li><li data-sourcepos="26:1-26:231"><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong>Practice Makes Perfect:</strong> Role-play tempting scenarios. Intentionally "drop" a piece of food and see if your dog follows the "leave it" command. Consistent training and positive reinforcement will solidify the desired behavior.</span></li><li data-sourcepos="27:1-28:0"><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong>Swap the Focus:</strong> When you're in the kitchen, keep your dog occupied with a chew toy, Kong filled with treats, or engage them in a short training session. This distracts them from the culinary temptations and reinforces positive behaviors.</span></li></ul><span style="font-size:18px;"></span><p style="text-align:center"><span style="font-size:18px;"><a draggable="false" data-cke-saved-href="https://goto.walmart.com/c/1374504/1294983/9383?sourceid=imp_0000111122…; href="https://goto.walmart.com/c/1374504/1294983/9383?sourceid=imp_0000111122…; id="1294983" target="_top"><img alt="" draggable="false" data-cke-saved-src="//a.impactradius-go.com/display-ad/9383-1294983" src="//a.impactradius-go.com/display-ad/9383-1294983" style="height:250px; width:300px"></a><img draggable="false" data-cke-saved-src="https://imp.pxf.io/i/1374504/1294983/9383" src="https://imp.pxf.io/i/1374504/1294983/9383" style="height:0px; position:absolute; visibility:hidden; width:0px"></span></p><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong></strong></span><p data-sourcepos="29:1-29:39"><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong>. Provide Enrichment and Exercise:</strong></span></p><ul data-sourcepos="31:1-34:0"><li data-sourcepos="31:1-31:212"><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong>Tire Them Out:</strong> A well-exercised dog is a less mischievous dog. Ensure your pup gets enough physical and mental stimulation through walks, playtime, and engaging activities like puzzle feeders or scent work.</span></li><li data-sourcepos="32:1-32:175"><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong>Engage Their Minds:</strong> Interactive toys, food puzzles, and training sessions can keep your dog's mind active and prevent boredom, which can fuel counter-surfing tendencies.</span></li><li data-sourcepos="33:1-34:0"><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong>Create a Routine:</strong> Sticking to a regular feeding schedule and mealtimes can help regulate your dog's hunger and reduce the urge to scavenge for food.</span></li></ul><p data-sourcepos="35:1-35:13"><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong>Remember:</strong></span></p><ul data-sourcepos="37:1-39:0"><li data-sourcepos="37:1-37:137"><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong>Patience is Key:</strong> Changing ingrained behaviors takes time and consistency. Be patient, positive, and celebrate even small successes.</span></li><li data-sourcepos="38:1-39:0"><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong>Seek Professional Help:</strong> If you're struggling to manage your dog's counter-surfing on your own, consider consulting a professional dog trainer for personalized guidance and training techniques.</span></li></ul><p data-sourcepos="40:1-40:378"><span style="font-size:18px;">By implementing these strategies and understanding the motivations behind your dog's behavior, you can transform your counter-raiding pup into a well-mannered and food-respecting companion. Remember, a little prevention, positive reinforcement, and plenty of enrichment can go a long way in ensuring your food stays on your plate and your furry friend stays happy and satisfied.</span></p><p data-sourcepos="42:1-42:303"><span style="font-size:18px;">So, the next time you catch your dog eyeing that juicy steak with mischievous intent, remember, you're not alone!
