Is There a Thief in Your Alsip Home?

Many dog owners have a four-legged robber in their Alsip house.  Those of you with pets that are more than 6 inches off the ground probably don’t worry about what we call counter surfing.  Some pets steal from the kitchen counters with food being most important and paper products number 2.  We’ve even heard of pets that can pick pockets!

Robbery happens from end tables and sometimes even snatching food from someone’s hand.  Another favorite is stealing shoes and toys or anything else on the floor or slightly higher.

There are some unique ways to end this behavior but it does take patience and consistency.  Similar training can be done to prevent counter surfing or garbage rummaging, however any dog will go through garbage with what the dog considers “goodies.”  When it comes to a yummy Alsip garbage can, its best to put them where the dog can’t get at it.

Call dog behaviorist, Frank Allison for a solution to this problem.  Or, schedule a private session and have Frank experience first hand the "sandwich snatcher" in your Alsip home.
