I didnt know where to post this, so mods please move as appropriate.
I am at my wits end with my 10 month old pitbull. I have looked around some pit forums, but everyone there are so rude, and always get on a soapbox.
My problem started on the 4th of July when I had a bbq and the pit learned that people leave snacks on tables, counters, and in the garbage! Now she gets into EVERYTHING the moment we turn away. The other day she even got on the counter while my bf was standing a foot away.
She knows she isnt supposed to do it, and now even goes into her cage in anticipation of timeout and/or her safe place before we notice what she got into.
Its so frustrating, bc she is essentially rewarded with whatever edible item she gets to before we catch her.
Last week she ate an entire tub of margarine licked clean in the time I went to the washroon after breakfast before clearing the table. Today it was pizza off the counter while I was taking out the trash.
Honestly at this point I am even considering a shock collar for when we catch her in the act bc I dont know how else to give people food or anything not in her bowl a negative association.
And now my bulldog with severe allergies has become a dumpster diver! He never used to get into the garbage until she taught him abiut the great snacks in there!
Help!
