As soon as Sage was big enough to reach the top of the counter that was his favorite thing. One day I was cooking and Sage came running into the kitchen I caught him just as he jumped up but he still got his paw close enough to the burner to singe some fur. I started blocking him from the kitchen when i was cooking after that until we had build up a solid "leave it" and a "park it" command. He leaves me alone now, I still watch him like a hawk and he will sniff the air a bit I tell him to leave it and he'll go lay down in the living room and chew.
