[nagdu] question

[Allison Nastoff]

Gilbert is allowed in the kitchen because he has very good 
kitchen manners.  But don't get me wrong.  He is a yellow lab who 
loves to eat (smile).  He does not countersurf or beg, but he 
will stand right next to whoever is cooking, ready to clean up 
anything that falls on the floor.  If there is a spill that my 
parents and I do not want him to clean up because he might get 
sick, I just call him away and walk him to the other room.
I used to have a pet dog who would put her paws on a chair and 
lick the plates after dinner if we left the room without doing 
the dishes, and another pet dog who would steal bread off the 
counter.  Both did it when we were not around, so we could not 
correct them, so my best advice would be to remove all temptation 
from the tables and counters before you leave the room.

>Do any of you allow your dogs in the kitchen?  This question is 
especially for the people that have labs, goldens and lab/ golden 
crosses.  And if so, how do you make sure that they are not 
counter surfing (looking for food on the counters)?  If you hear 
them hop down from surfing what do you do?  Most important of all 
how do you break them of this habit??? HELP!!! Any advice would 
be greatly appreciated.  Thank you in advance.
