| Dog on the TABLE!! EEEEEEECK! So my wonderful Skittles.....apparently loves to get on the table. Skittles is a 6 month old male. My grandparents keep him during the day because I'm at work for 8 hours. Yesterday, she was sitting down having lunch, the phone rang, she got up to answer......only to come back to Skittles ON the table eating her lunch! ONO!!!!!!!!!!! As SOON as she came back into the room he ran from her SOOOOO quickly, which lets me KNOW that HE knows he's doing something BAD. She confessed that she finds him on the picnic table outdoors MANY times (but no one eats out there, it's just a table to hold her plants!). What can be done to keep the dog off the table. Any advice or suggestions? |

Bella Boo & Diggy Too! Donating GS Member | Sorry I do not have advice for you, but I can tell u ur not alone...Bella loves to lay on our patio table and well we let her....yes we eat out there but before we eat I have to clean it off anyway. We also had a poodle back in the day that when we would leave he got up on the table and peed on my moms center piece (silk flowers) our fix was pulling out chairs when we left and he couldnt get up there!

| brings back memories... Nomi use to be a pro at this! She even managed to ruin one of my husband's football get togethers by sampling the food on the table before half time. We are very careful about pushing in the chairs all the way so she can't jump up and get to the table. For a while we were actually turning the chairs around when we got up. That way she had no access to the table. After several spoiled attempts, she has quit her previous life as a table food thief. |

| We tease that ZsaZsa is part mountain goat because she climbs everything, the table, back of the sofa, even me if i'm bent down doing something she'll jump on my back. One time when Widsor was just a puppy we caught him on the dining room table lapping up melted butter from a bowl we'd used to dip crab in.... I had cleared everything else from the table but forgot that bowl. He was one sick puppy that night .

| The best thing to do is keep all the chairs pushed completely in so that he can't jump up on the chairs, and then onto the table. Of course, if you see him doing it, tell him NO firmly. They only do it when we're not looking though. My little guy can't get onto the table without jumping up on a chair first.
