Hi, I'm new here and need some advice. I have a 7 mo. old baby, Maggie. She has a wonderful, lively personality, but is very mischievous! She is obsessed with food for one thing, (and I mean people food, NOT hers), and has been from the day I brought her home, around 12 weeks. We do NOT feed her table scraps, and any time she gets a special treat it must be in the kitchen, in her bowl or with her sitting and calm. Having said that, she is still obsessed with our food! Lately she has even been climbing on top of the kitchen table to look for/steal food that may have been left on it! I'm so worried that she will get hurt doing this..and she knows she's being naughty since she scrambles off quickly if she even hears any footsteps coming towards the kitchen. Even with my lecturing everyone in the family about the importance of keeping all food put away and out of her reach, there are still times when we slip up. I don't know what to do besides scold her in a firm voice, but it doesn't seem to help at all. Does anyone out there have experience with a super sneaky, mischievous, stubborn yorkie? Please share any advice you have on how to handle my naughty little Miss Maggie and break her of these dangerous habits. I love her to pieces, but sometimes her behavior is over the top !!
