Hi guys, do any of your dogs steal things off the work tops?

only once with my red cattle she grabbed some brie of the counter but thought it was disgusting left it and hasnt since grabbed anything of the counter

Yes i had a girl would counter surf :rolleyes:

No, one can't reach but the other one who is only 8 months is huge and can reach the work tops without jumping up, but she never bothers and its one thing I can say she is very good about.

Mine will all steal, from anywhere. Including the shopping bags I have just put down on the floor so I can open the back door to let the dogs out I have to keep a very close eye on them, and make sure that nothing is left where they can help themselves. ;)

No, the nose surfs just off the edge and she whines if there is anything on there she wants i.e. chicken.  Son's desk would apparently be fair game as twice this week I have found her with chewed packets of chewing gum

LOl, love this one........mine can open fridges, cupboards, race me to the dishwasher, likesome else said, raid the shopping bags almost before i put them down. In fact, they are horrors! you would think they were never fed.........worse food theives than the kids, and they are bad enough........

All the time.... 7 GSPs and a GWP and they are all guilty. I have just got up and found empty packets of Simply Oats everywhere. Either one of them can now open cupboards or someone left the box out. I am unable to leave anything out or turn my back. We tried all sorts, sticky tape, water spray and nothing ever worked so just have to be more vigilsant in not leaving anything about. the one even steals tea towels and chews them if she thinks there might be 'food' or smells on them!! :)

Tyson has never touched anything on the worktops. :-) Although he could quite easily reach without even having to jump. I must say he is a very good boy. :D

Yes.

I have a westie who yesterday climbed a 5ft book case and got at about half a kilo of chocolate and ate the lot.

I came home just as he was finishing his illicit feast. Rushed him to the vet and all is well now. Although the vet did say that if I hadnt have come home when I did then he most likley would have died from chocolate poisoning.

My old Sam a few years back stole a box of sugar puffs out of my shopping bag I did'nt now untill he came back all pleased with himself with sugar puffs all stuck to his chops as if to say who me??

I don't belieeeeeve it!

I wish I had never posted on this thread because it obviously tempted providence :rolleyes:

A few minutes ago my dog brought to me the piece of kitchen roll that had some leftover chicken in it, 'had' being the operative :rolleyes:

It was on the kitchen counter ready as training treats - oh well at least it seems she is normal esp after reading Star's account ;) :D

lol well atleast she bought you the kitchen towel she was trying to be helpful by helping you clean after she had her little sneaky snack :)

:rolleyes:  She's on a roll now :rolleyes:

She pinched the broccoli off the side that was about to be prepared for lunch.  After lunch OH put some cream crackers on his plate, walked into other room to catch something on TV, came back and said I'm sure I put 4 crackers on my plate? He did as I saw them

All but one, who's too arthritic now to get up there! :)

Mine will even take stuff off the top of the microwave oven which is on top of the work surface!!!

Yep, my Yankee is an oven glove thief - and of course any food left within reach, though we're usually too good for him in that respect now! The Cavaliers probably would if they could, but those extra 2 inches shorter make it impossible! :-D

No - never :D

Well, not now anyway. Tara has never stolen anything - she's nearly 4. Bramble pinched a frozen, chicken kiev off the baking tray once and also ate 12 out of 24 cooling mince pies (he couldn't reach the other 12 :D :D ) He's also stolen several boxes of chocolates :( However, he's taken nothing for the last 4 years or so - so both mine are angelic :D :D

The two Weimaraners and the two Great Dane pups will counter surf all day long!  Lola our Ridgeback has never stolen anything - I can even leave her in the room with the shopping bags on the floor while I go back to the car for the rest and she won't touch anything.  She will have a sniff though

yes one of my bullmastiffs do, she will get anything whether she likes it or not, i had some mince defrosting for tea the other day and she had eaten the lot the box etc, i thought i was going round the bend until i saw her poo later...........,

Lunchtime, I was in the kitchen, Jack I could hear 'up to something' . Well somebody left the chair away from the table.....up he jumped and on to the table. Helped himself to an apple from the fruit bowl! At least it was a 'healthy option'.........

Nips would prowl around on the dining room table if given half the chance. Although there's nothing other than the occasional crumb up there. But it's surprising how desirable the occasional crumb is to a dog on a raiding mission.

Fortunately he's too small to counter surf but I'm keeping a very close eye on his current efforts to learn how to open the fridge door.

My freinds German Shepherd once ate a whole sherry trifle that should have been put in the fridge but wasn,t his daughter my Aysha stole a whole box of thorntons continental chocolates that had been bought and hidden under a bed for a christmas present. She was six weeks in whelp at the time and I was nearly demented but all was well and she delivered six healthy puppies.

In mine at the moment Ebony is nearly five months she has taken a packet of crisp and ate a whole tub of butter, Nina has never done this but she can open the fridge and cupboards and the dryer, but never takes anything except for taking all the clean clothes out and then lying on them or she uses it as a toy with Ebony so she can have a game of tug of war  Ebony took all the bird seed out of the cupboard Nina had opened and it was all over the floor.  Just goes to show how intelligent dogs are

My old dog took 1/2 lb butter (and the dish ) into the sitting room & licked the dish clean. Wasn't even sick :rolleyes:

My young dog stole some cheese on toast from under the grill while it was still cooking

Our Akita stole Lamb chops for his Sunday dinner - we had beans on toast Lost count of the things he's stolen because even the back of the work surface isn't high enough for him :D

I'm so glad it's not just mine! Let's see what has been pinched over the last few years.............hubby blue tooth headset ( he was NOT amused), various tea towels, sarnies ready for work,fruit, my cereal,oven gloves,the phone (twice), the black rubber tyhings off the top of the dining room chairs (it took me gaes to work out where these black things were coming from until my dad - it would be him - said why did I have odd chairs!!!) oh and they got into their food cupboard and ate 24 sachets of cat food. They have now learned how to open the freezer (bought a lock) can open and empty the cutlery out of the dishwasher, thieve from the tumble dryer..........the list is endless.

I have child locks everywhere now!

Not the worktop, but my OH left his egg and toast on the little lounge table and then walked off, sBreeze tried to take it while he was out the room, but he caught her, but as he was taking her into the garden, our little staffie got the toast. It was funny, I just had to laugh

All the these stories have made me laugh

Thea my TM (sadly past on now) took a 12" stuffed crust pizza with all the works and frozen solid up the garden and eat it somehow I do not know as it was solid, that was in 10 mins,

Barbie took a box of eggs out up the garden, and made very short work of them, it is only odd things every now and again that go missing, she is not a full on theif just part time when we have forgotten that she does it.
