Tie a piece of string to the can's flip top and stick the other end of the string to the tape. Put the can on the counter with the tape between it and the edge of the counter. Do this with the other cans.
The idea is that when the dog jumps up on the counter, his paws touch the sticky duct tape, and when he jumps back down, he brings the cans clattering down around him. You haven't scolded or yelled at him or done anything at all to him.
The counter attacked him.
I don't remember where I read this and I've never used it because I've never had a counter surfer. |
I used a similar "trap" with Brinks. It DOES work. I am religious about keeping the counters clear.
I used paper towels, the length of the countertop. I put the length of paper towel on the edge of the counter, half hanging over. I put empty pop cans, with a few marbles in them and then taped (so there would be no loose marbles to be ingested when the event happened). I placed the cans, randomly placed along the paper towels. Took a few hours, but Brinks did go in and try to counter surf. I missed the action by a millisecond, but he scared the holy h*ll out of himself. Haven't had a problem since.
