the little fecker is on the table again

[JPTfellterrier 65]

well basically i just found the little bugger on the kitchen table again, i had just put the tea out and so i poped upstairs for litrally 3 minutes, came back in the kitchen, terrier on table and no more tea (that was four peoples worth of tea shes munched on)

 

anyway she does this over and over and over and i catch her every time and i pick her up hoy her in her cage and give her a hyding for it but she just does it again

 

any ideas?

 

(and i aint buying one of them electric collars as they cost and arm and a leg)

 

 

You may have heard of this or not but fill an empty plastic bottle with pebbles do what you did today but hide and watch , then when you catch the little fecker shake it and shout no , my dad uses this method hes got 3 russels and a greedy bull x the only dog that it doesnt really effect is the lurcher but thats scared of feck all. try it but if it destreses the dog too much stop as it really effected one of mine so tral and error .. let me know how you get on ..

aye i will try it but she aint scared of nothing, 7 month and fearless runs under the horses feet and all sorts, never met a dog like her, my other one was bad when she was young but no were near like this and would take a telling,but the pup she just does things over and over again no matter how much you brey the sheet out of her

 

One of the terriers i cant mention the name is hard as feck and scared of nothin but the bottle seems to work try it id be suprised if it didnt work , I know what you mean though again and again it gets pretty annoying..

i shal try it....dont i know it your talking to a lass with anger problems here haha

Set yourself up to succeed - my motto

 

I have a scrounging stealing lurcher, 2 Patts and 2 cats (one who was feral and goes through bin bags even at Xmas with paper in it in case we left a rogue lamb chop).

 

So that is the situation and there is no way on God's earth they eat my food.

 

1. If I am leaving food out, I hide it. In a cold unused oven (if it is cold meat), back in the fridge, or with a lid on.

2. All the chairs are up against the table so there is no way to jump onto a chair and onto the table, though cats can leap from the ground.

3. If I am laying the table, then I don't put the food down until everyone is in the kitching/dining area.

 

There is no way I would leave unattended food out on a surface - it is not fair on any animal to expect them to learn. Cats refuse (well they know but don't care), and lurchers were trained just for that, I understood. I was told that, as drovers' dogs, they were expected to find "something" for the pot at mealtimes in days gone past (could be wrong there). But dogs will be dogs and yes, some do learn but tbh, I don't trust any of mine at all but I am not stupid enough to put them in the situation where they can steal. It just doesn't happen. If it takes an extra 5 minutes, putting it back in the oven, or in the fridge or whatever, then I do it. I hate being cross with my dogs because of my own laziness to set everyone up to succeed.

 

One thing though, the dogs eat after me. They do not scrounge around the table and they are never fed from the table by anyone. A heinous crime in our house.

 

Good luck. Maybe you need to look at your situation and change it to suit the scavengers you have decided to surround yourself with.

aye i supose its my own fault really because temptation does get the better of her

 

i hate people who feed animals at the table or let there animals sit at your feet while your eating

 

i tell you what she has worked out how to do is move the chairs to get on the table, shes intelegent but i just need to focus that intelegance in to not being a pain in the ass

just a thought, table antics now I hope you haven't been up to no good on that table of yours and the mutt just wants to have a look to see what the craic is?

Good advice !!

 

I learnt the hard way we had a marathon baking session and left the dog unattended for 5 mins and he ate the lot 2 sponge cakes plate full of flapjacks and a tin full of oat cakes

So now its no food left out at all, all food waste goes straight in to the bin outside and kid proof locks on all the cupboards

No temptations No problems the dog eats when we do and while we are sat down he is ignored now when hes finished eating he sits in his crate and hes never fed from the table

It took a couple of weeks to get him into our way of thinking but he knows the score now

Best idea would be to recreate you going up stair's with the dinner out.

 

Instead of putting good lovley food get some mustard ( or something extreamly hot )

 

That should stop him
