Oh my gosh, before I put this dog up for adoption
I need some advice !!
HOW do I keep her from stealing our food?? She is obviously smarter than us because it keeps happening. If we leave our food anywhere for a minute (actually even less!), she is in it. We regularly catch her on the kitchen table ( I caught her sleeping on there a couple of days ago!!) and she can reach stuff that is left too close to the edge of the countertop. I could kennel her or tie her leash to a doorknob while we eat but there are 5 of us living here and we don't always eat/snack at the same time. We do try to be careful but it is hard to always be on guard. I can't just lock her out of the kitchen area unfortunately because my livingroom/kitchen are really just one room and the kitchen is the only place without carpet.
She seems so food obsessed. Has anybody else dealt with this? What are we doing wrong?
