Spent today teaching a labrador to steal food from the table for a photo (its a long story). You wouldnt believe how reluctant she was! This isn't the shot I am going to use, but I couldn't resist showing you. This is just after I clicked the clicker for the first really successful attempt. I just love the look on her face.
Re: Stealing! aw are you going to have to "unteach" her now? Not many would be reluctant! Her expression is priceless!
Re: Stealing! Well in theory, putting a behaviour on cue (I used the word 'table') should make it less likely to occur spontaneously. But in practice, I probably won't put it to the test! Our dogs are 'kennel' based so we tend not to leave food around when they are in the house, it might be expecting a bit much.
