just as a tip for the countersurfing. We put food in the cupboards and sometimes te oven if we're going out, even for short periods of time. All of my dogs have been countersurfers so we quickly learned that they can't get into the high cupboards or open the oven. We also had to put the trash in the pantry for a while to stop gargage eating. We never really stopped her (the dog) from doing it, but she died and the new dog doesn't care about trash. (He'd rather eat fresh foods)
