[nagdu] question

[Merry Schoch]

Lisa,

My Vizsla was the ultimate scrounge hound!!  He was always surfing the 
counters (could hear him moving stuff around) - he was very tall.  The day 
after he died I heard a noise in the kitchen and automatically said, "get 
off that counter".  Ooops, it was Marion getting his morning cup of coffee.

I told Marion, the new dogs will not be allowed in the kitche at all.  So, 
we'll first try with the "down stay" command and then if that doesn't work - 
tie down or crate. That's what you might want to try as well.

Merry
