Madison is one of the smartest 6 month old Black Lab (got just about 15 tricks in the bag so far) BUT when I'm gone she continues to jump on the counter (2 front feet only) and grabs anything and everything within reach. I've stopped putting anything on there but if there is something (she got a wood ruler and plastic cups) she gets them.
When I'm home she's busy playing and doing tricks so she doesn't even think about getting on the counter. It's when I'm GONE that she does it and I have no way of scolding her because I haven't seen her do it...
WHAT CAN I DO? - She only does it when I'm not home.
The other thing I should mention is she has a Kong (which she's mastered and guarantees me a nice 30 minutes of occupation) AND a buster cube and a nice big bone she gets when I leave. I've also since started to play frisbee for about 10 mins before I leave for work and 10 mins during the end of my lunch break.
Can anyone help with tips? :-)
