I was so happy to have found this video. My boxer has been counter surfing like crazy. As soon as I saw this video, I rolled up a tortilla to use as bait. Then I went to gather some cans. A few seconds later, I found my dog feasting on the tortilla in the dining room. O.K. I gotta be faster than her. So I got a piece of bread, tied it to the bowl and left the room. I didn’t hear anything, so I came back to find her standing on her hind legs eating the bread right where I left it! Luckily I was able to get the string out of her throat because she was starting to devour that as well. What would you suggest for this smart and nimble creature?

thank you for sharing… our lastest foster enjoyed 3 loaves of bread before I stubbled onto your video.
He had three attempts with the same loaf and done!
I came home to find the cans & intact loaf on the floor.
thx again

So, I tried this with my dog and it worked. It took 3 times but finally it seemed like he got it. He still went to the counter and looked at the food but he saw the bowl and cans, and he got down. My question is: what about when he jumps up there are doesn’t see the bowl or cans, will he still grab the food, and if so what should I do about it? I don’t want to have to leave a bowl and cans on my counter. lol..
Thanks for the help
