Yesterday I discovered the dishwasher.
Oh what joy! So many great smells. So many great tastes – if I can get there. It even has a convenient step to help me climb in – it’s called a door, apparently.
But Mum and Dad have realised that with their hands full of dishes they have a problem. Positive reinforcement is a little difficult as distracting me away or encouraging a different behaviour is not easy when you’re juggling. For goodness sake – haven’t you remembered I’m a Labrador? You can distract all you want but when there’s the enticing smell of food you have no chance.
I’ll have to think about this some more because they have twigged me, and mostly do the dishwasher when I’m in my crate with the door closed.
