Counter surfing tips:Some simple deterrents can also keep Fido off the counters. You can line the edges of your counters with sticky-side-out duct tape so curious noses and paws get unpleasantly, but only momentarily stuck. You can also balance a pie plate full of water or pebbles on the edge of the counter so when he jumps up he either gets surprisingly soaked, or startled by the noise. Further more, there are several deterrent products available for just this purpose. You can place an X-Mat on your counter surfaces. They have raised bumps that are unpleasant for pets to walk on. The Scat Mat is a similar product, but deters your pet with a slight static shock.
Exercise and Stimulation
Help your dog have better behavior in general by keeping him well exercised. Taking him for a nice long walk until he is tired at least twice a day will work wonders on all aspects of his behavior at home. An exercised dog is a happy dog. Also, keep him entertained with positive activities by providing plenty of chew toys. You can also hide stuffable treat toys around the house to keep him busy.
If you and your family can maintain complete and absolute consistency, and only reward positive behavior, you can keep your pooch off the counters. Just remember that training does not happen overnight, so be patient.

The Kong Toy is one of today's most recognizable dog training toys on the market. It not only acts as a great toy that bounces unpredictably when dropped, but is also a great way to keep your pooch occupied. It also is a helpful dog training tool, especially for housebreaking and inappropriate chewing. Stuffed with high quality can meat (Natural Balance liver) and place in the freezer makes a great treat and lots of mental work to get the good stuff out of that kong.
