Is There a Robber in Your Palos Hills House?

Many dog owners have a four-legged thief in their Palos Hills 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.  Dogs steal from the kitchen counters with food being number one and paper products second.  We’ve even heard of pets that can pick pockets!

Robbery happens from cocktail 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 a little time and consistency.  Similar training can be done to stop counter surfing or garbage rummaging, however any dog will go through garbage with what the dog considers “goodies.”  When it comes to a yummy Palos Hills 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 Palos Hills home.
