The crating is a good idea for keeping her safe. I guess I will have to do it until I can get her solid on staying off the counters. Did find a trick tonight while cooking. After reading a lot of positive reviews, I went out and got some of the Natural Balance Rolls. She loved it! I cut a bunch of small pieces and put her into a down stay in the middle of the kitchen. She only got up a few times, but the treats helped keep her there for longer than she's ever done. Was kinda hectic though, chopping vegetables, watching her, treat, praising, stirring, watching, treat, praising...lol. But seemed to be working. I guess as I continue to cook, and practice this, perhaps I can get her to stay longer between treats!
