Is There a Robber in Your Pell Lake House?

Many dog owners have a four-legged robber in their Pell Lake house.  Those of you with dogs 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 number one and paper products second.  We’ve even heard of dogs that can pick pockets!

Robbery happens from dinner tables and sometimes even grabbing 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 stop counter surfing or garbage rummaging, however any canine will go into garbage with what the canine considers “goodies.”  When it comes to a yummy Pell Lake 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 Pell Lake home.
