So, Altas, our 11 month old puppy, is pretty well behaved (for the most part). He sometimes comes around if you're eating food, but never has tried to steal food from anyone, or especially from a countertop or table.
That is, until today.
I laid my and Stephen's plates on the table for supper (BBQ'ed hamburgers and fries) with the buns on the plate. Stephen was getting the burgers and I was getting us some water to go with our dinner. I came in, sat down, and wondered why I only had one bun on my plate, because Stephen had two, and I distinctly remembered placing two buns on each plate. Stephen replyed, "Because Atlas has the other one in his mouth".
The little fucker.
I ended up having a double burger instead of two singles, and Atlas had a time out in his kennel, as per our trainer's training methods, which works eventually with repeated usage for repeated offences, but I think that a whack across the backside would probably work better. (A gentle whack of course, but I can't bring myself to do it, so there you go).
