Grr... after having Piper for four almost five months, she still is getting in the trash and on the counters! It's so freakin frustrating! The major problem is my family, when my mom isn't home I have Piper stay with me and I watch her. I always make sure she doesn't go in the kitchen unless I'm in there... Problem is when I'm in my room and Piper is out with my mom, dad, and brothers they don't keep her out of the dang kitchen! They just say she should no better and blah blah blah.... Well they are old school training so if she gets in the trash on there watch she gets yelled at an popped. I just can't think of how to keep her off the counters and out of the trash. So far the counter surfing has gotten better, because I try keeping the counters clear of food and dishes, and also keep it wiped off therefore she doesn't have a reason to get on the counters. The dang trash is a totally different story it's self rewarding, I just can not think of how to get her to stop. I'm at my last straw and have decided to hide so I can see the trash, but not by Piper and right when she noses the lid I will use an air horn and as soon as she looks in my direction I'll hide it behind my back, it's better than everyone popping and yelling at her. I really hope this works. If anyone has any suggestions I'm open to try them as long as it doesn't involve, hitting, yelling, or hurting Piper in any way.
