[nagdu] question

[Ann Chiappetta]

Hi;
I don't allow my dogs in my kitchen and if they do come in, I say, "out", 
then praise them for doing it. My guide does not surf but my pet dog does, 
and  we do our best to not leave temptations out there for her. I do crate 
her if I catch her, however and over the years she's gotten much better. But 
it takes constant vigilance. She never does it in front of us, so it's hard 
to catch her at it.

Not sure of how to correct if the dog does it in front of you or how to 
counter-train, but  I do remember a friend telling me they had a Boxer who 
had to be corrected by a leash correction  and a sit command. The dog had to 
wear a short leash while free in the house while being watched and if he 
made any attempt to get to the food, the owner had to grab the leash, 
correct and sit the dog, then praise.
