Does the dog stop steeling things at all or just stop stelling bagels in the kitchen?

LmAO..

[ChillyAndClover]

I don't see much of anything wrong with this method, as long as the dog doesn't assosiate the crash with you, and if the dog isn't getting hurt. =)

I watch all your videos! Thank you so much, that was so funny! I bet she thinks twice now

Why not just teach the "leave it command"? Why set the dog up for failure?

Im sorry but I feel this type of training is a lazy mans way to do it.

In my home my dogs are taught to leave it with things on the floor.Counter-surfing is a MAN-MADE problem,that can and IS easily fixed buy NOT leaving food up on the counters for them to practice the behavior.

If one has a skittesh dog to begin with,who is to say that the dog will never go by counter again? Dogs learn by association.

[cnetwoot]

Look at your last sentence again. Dogs learn by association. So when the dog grabs something from the counter and something bad happens. It associates grabbing things from the counter with bad things.

this is too funny! I just was laughing my butt off! I can almost hear her saying...what the....

[crazychick927]

That's very effective. I'm glad you aren't one of those trainers that is completely against punishment.

[rutgerspaws]

I am a little disappointed in your use of punishment. I had seen an earlier video where you said you were a positive reinforcement trainer, and explained the problems with using punishment. This video, two of the videos for loose leash walking, and the jumping video all use negative reinforcement/punishment.

[GnomieBear]

i would really call this behavior modification. the video shows corrections of a behavior that needed to be modified, in order for the dog to live happily in a human household.

tell u what... u let ur dog eat ur chrismas turkey and let the rest of us learn from this very intelligent man and his EFFECTIVE tips and tuition...yes?

[crazymonkey879]

hey man i got a quistion im getting a dog and i need to no if my dog is hurt or not so i can take it to a docter plz tell me what do i do

[HammandClov]

usually you always take the new dog for a checkup when you first get it.

[Slydogges]

what if that bowl hits its head?

[eletendre1]

I use a lightweight Tupperware bowl. Tupperware won't hurt the dog if it lands on your dog's head.

[Saphster]

LOL! wow that was hilarious but smart! I'm gonna use this technique. My lab loves to explore on the counter quite often.

[k9disc]

That's a great setup.

Thank you!
