ZoE will look at me when anything drops on the floor to see what she should do. If I tell her it's ok to eat it, she will. If it's not ok to eat I say, "yucky! yucky!" and she backs away. This works for anything I drop that I don't want her near. I've knocked glasses off the counter and yelled, "yucky! yucky!" and she backs away from the shards of glass too. I didn't mean to train it to mean back off everything, but she's taken it to mean that & it works for us.
