Just got home from work to find the dog has stolen a loaf of bread off the side. Again. She doesn't eat it; just punctures every single bloody slice and renders it un-eatable! I'm aware she does this, and I try my best to remember to move stuff, but sometimes I forget. Totally my fault, I know!
She has never, ever done this when I'm in the house, and it's the only thing she does when I'm not, but anything left on the side gets stolen and played with; apples, bananas, bread etc! I never tell her off for it as it's my fault for leaving it there, but I can tell the second I walk in the door if she's had something as she slinks past me looking guilty lol
Is there any way to train this out of her or do I just need to be more vigilant? I've watched the kikopup videos on stopping dogs stealing food, but, when I'm home, she'd never dream on jumping on the table or sides. She's 5.5 yo and a collie x poodle btw, and not normally food driven in the slightest!
