    I used the penny method Love My Collie suggested. All it took was one time and Giselle stopped her counter surfing completely. I, too, set her up by placing a piece of meat in a cup. I pierced a hole in the cup and tied a piece of string to the cup. I also tied the piece of string to another cup with pennies. As I expected, Giselle fell for the trap and I spent the next 10 minutes cleaning up pennies It was worth it, though. No physical harm was done and we've never had a counter surfing problem since. Just make sure the meat is in a container that Tikeya can't eat right off the counter like a cup. Otherwise, she'll outsmart your trap!

    it sounds like she has already rewarded herslef enugh that making her stop will be VERY difficult, I tried all the traps with Misty, the tape, the noisy cans and mouse traps.. nothing she had already rewarded herself enugh that she overcame every sort of scare, for example I booby trapped a bagel, I left it in her reach but tied to a shaker can and left the room, the first time she tried to grab the bagel just the movment of the can scared her, 5 seconds later she was back grabbed the bagel the shaker can slammed to the ground making a horrable racket and she ignored it and ate her prize. considering Huskeys are considered just as hard headed if you figer out a solution I too would like to know!
