Is There a Robber in Your McCook Home?

Many clients have a four-legged thief in their McCook home.  Those of you with pets that are more than 6 inches off the ground probably don’t worry about what we call counter surfing.  Dogs steal from the kitchen counters with food being most important and paper products number 2.  We’ve even seen dogs 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 interesting 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 canine will go through garbage with what the dog considers “goodies.”  When it comes to a yummy McCook 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 McCook home.
