jumping up on tables and counters
Posted to: Training & Behavior
Hi everyone! My 4 1/2 month old Airedale has really started to jump up on tables and counters, not only searching for food but also just things to chew on. I've never fed him people food, or from the table so I'm not sure what to do about it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again...

I was looking a different type of harness for my 10 -11 lb. dogs. I find the normal harness is too time constraining trying to figure out which way is which. First thing in the morning when I take the dogs out, I'm just not awake enough to figure it out, I'm sure lack of coffee has something...
