[nagdu] question

[Pickrell, Rebecca M (IS)]

You can also put a baby gate up in front of the kitchen. 
Dogs aren't allowed in the kitchen at our house mostly because we have a
family member who got very seriously injured when she backed up from the
stove and fell over her dog. Not a guide dog, but still. So the kitchen
is for humans only.

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.
