Surfing is great for those who love to do it and it involves the ocean and a surf board. A dog who surfs the counter for food, though, may be having a great time, but rarely is such behavior appreciated.
Even if it’s a Kong on the counter that is destined for his dinner bowl, a dog’s paws should be off the kitchen counter at all times. This is not only for the convenience of having a civilized dog in the house, but for the dog’s safety most importantly. A dog who grabs a cooked chicken off the counter and scarfs it down, for example, can quickly be in dire straits. And his owner could have a hefty emergency vet bill as a result.
