Counter surfing and stealing
How did people get their lurchers out of taking things that aren’t theirs to take?
Ours is a rescue, still only young and I’m not convinced he’s ever been in a home rather than a kennel. Not had him long and I know he’ll learn with time and consistency. Just looking for tips!
He will sneak into the kitchen and take anything even remotely tasty. If there’s nothing resembling food he’ll often just go elsewhere and take something else like a door stop or a cushion etc. Most of the time you can see it’s for the chase as he’ll run out into the garden, so I follow the advice of trading for one of his toys etc.
He has enrichment toys and a huge garden. He has a lot of exercise (morning and evening) and lots of mental stimulation, we play/train a lot with him. He’s just a big baby who needs to learn better ways and I’m wondering people’s recommendations on how to help him with that!
