@sayitoncedogtraining: Counter surfing isn’t just annoying, it’s risky. I think a lot of people go way too easy on it without realizing how serious it can get. You might see a cute puppy popping up on the counter, but I see a dog one mistake away from real trouble. Turning on a gas stove, grabbing medication, pulling down a knife, eating chocolate or something toxic. It sounds extreme until you’ve seen it actually happen to a family. And when you push your dog off, you’re not fixing it, you’re starting a game. That back and forth only builds the habit and makes it stronger.
What about for the coffee/end tables which for big dogs as you know does require jumping at all. It’s where my toddler eats and my new rescue I CANT get her to not eat things off of it (except just crating her which I do most often).

That’s NOT nasty that’s being authoritative when trying to teach rules when you’re the Alfa.

Love this! But my doodle counter surfer does it when we are not around. If we call his name or hear us coming he jumps done

This is probably a really random question. My dog just turned 2. Right now he’s at that annoying teenager stage, but I would say overall fairly well behaved. How can I stop the licking??? I thought it was just when I was wearing lotion at first but it’s become an awful habit.

Love that we corrected my golden early, we can leave an entire buffet on the counter without worry!

What do you do for dogs that growl at you when you move them, if they are on the couch or bed or something. I’d like to nip it in the bud before it turns into aggression.
