Nova is getting really bad at jumping on the counters lately. Last night I was baking cookies and dog treats. I went to the bathroom to come back to one less Snickerdoodle Then, later on, I heard her jumping on the counter from the living room. I called her and could tell there was something in her mouth so I told her to drop it (both of which she did -- she minds very well!) and it was another Snickerdoodle I know the obvious thing to do is push everything back where she can't reach it -- but she can reach everywhere on the counter. We have tried pushing it back, it isn't enough. I mean, the other day my mom left a pan of bacon fat on the back of the stove after cooking. Nova must have been very quiet, because when she went in later it was all gone!
Now, I'm wondering, do scat mats work for dogs? I can't catch her in the act every time so scolding her for it is going to take a looong time to enforce the rules. Is there anything else you'd suggest if not scat mats?
