Hmm, that post made me register so I could post. You really might want to get a few dog training books. You are going to find a common theme in most of them I suspect.

MANAGING the situation is the first step, and best step, to any behavior controls you want to reinforce.

In other words, the first step is to remove the food from the counter. It might be annoying to have to keep up with that, but until you've got the behavior under control - the first step is to remove the reward.

Somewhere down the line, you might get your countertops back - but short term you should seriously consider making the effort.
