Counter Surfing - Are Boxers the Worst?

[pmari3]

I just try to keep things out of reach and if he gets something its my fault!!

Totally our fault when Winston (who we have nicknamed Swipper from Dora the Explorer ) treats himself. I have limited exp. with dogs in general and never a boxer so I'm just amazed at how quick he can be! And with the 2 little ones, it is sometimes difficult to keep everything out of his reach. Plus, like most other moms, you get in the middle of preparing a meal and somebody always needs something :rolleyes:

We are all learning very quickly The ones who have lost their meals are the quickest learners :D

I have lost many a loaf of bread. And butter. And crackers. And croutons.....Yeah Hank is very much a counter surfer. Every time we cook he is laying in his little spot where if anythings hits the floor...Bam it's gone!

Brandi is my 1st Boxer also and she is horrible for countersurfing. She walks by the counters or kitchen table smelling upright or trying to see whats up there. A roommate has a min pin that could jump 5ft in the air. She was horrible also. In her bed, we found an empty bag of doughnuts, pizza crusts, crackers, all kinds of stuff. One time she got up on the counters and finished off all the grease in the George Foreman plastic catcher. We were scared for her, but she was ok and had the shiniest coat for like a week! :D

Jack (our new baby!) is too small, and Duke, aour first boxer who died 5 years ago did not. However, we also have a cocker spaniel who is THE WORST about this behavior!!! She will steal people food from just about anywhere. I've heard others say that cockers are bad about this, too....
