It's lunchtime and you're doing your dog mother duty - coming home to walk Kingfish. You walk in, confident that the Kong filled with peanut butter you left kept him out of the trash. Suddenly, the stench of old bananas and stale milk reach your nostrils. There is trash strewn all over the downstairs. Kingfish is cowering behind a chair.

What will end this? Try being sneaky - when you leave the house, leave the door unlocked, hide behind the bushes for a few seconds, then burst back in. This way, you catch your dog in the act of sampling the trash and can reprimand him. Do this for a week and you'll likely find your dog cured. He may even start doing the dishes. ;-)
