Bucky doesn't counter surf at home (much).
Goldens are notorious food thieves and we have learned from our previous dogs not to leave food on the counter - because if we left the room for any length of time, chances are the food would be gone when we returned. So WE have been trained by our previous dogs (did I hear someone mention "The Stomach that Walked like a Dog" named "Dawson", AKA "Dyson"?)
But, if WE are careful and keep food off the counters, it is not that Bucky has LEARNED not to counter surf, its that he has not been given the OPPORTUNITY to counter surf.
The purpose is for Bucky to KNOW he is not to counter surf. So that means we need to change OUR habits so Bucky LEARNS not to counter surf.
After Bucky came home from Puppy Camp, and I heard he stole lettuce off the counter, I figured I'd do some training.
With LETTUCE!?!?!!?
You be the Judge....
