To throw my welly at the dog

[LadyBeagleEyes]

I had southern fried chicken nuggets (from M&S no less) for my teen son. He loves them (I hate them)so I made some chips and had a (very) occasional steak for myself which ds does't like.
My dog jumped on the counter and nicked my steak, so I threw said welly at him
(I did miss) but now he's skulking around glaring at me.
He knows how cross I am, and I'm sitting here ignoring him even though he keeps trying to catch my eye, and when he does he wags his tail.
So do I ignore him or do I forgive?
How will he learn, I'm just so cross?
The nicking things of the counter is coming more prevalent, I adore him but I know that he's already forgotten why I'm annoyed and me huffing doesn't do it really, does it.
I put this on AIBU because I'm not sure if it should be on the doghouse or relationships.

As you were

Am I the only one who can see the lightheartedness of the OP?

Training a dog not to steal - easy. Training a dog not to pull when he's a mad, enthusiastic young GSD... work still in progress, hands up to that and praise be to the gods that are the trick of turning back and the Halti! :o

Valhalla.

Wonders who else would dare?

My GSD is harder than your GSD. Ner ner ner ner ner.

hey matey, my cats are harder than my younger GSD!

What a wuss!

Vallhala theres no training to be done for the OP's dog, the dog has trained the OP not to leave food on the counter

It only took my DH two nights to learn that my puppy would only come when he said 'here' and nothing else.

Don't start me on the cat, she controls us all with a look.

No I think loads of people saw it as a light hearted thread, hence the tonnes of posts about dogs half inching pork chops etc

Incidentally Valhalla are you DBF with a namechange? I've been presuming you are, but that might be cos you are similar in tome and I don't recall seeing you post on the same thread

Tome? Tone!

Last christmas, my labrador managed to get our christmas cake from the back corner of the kitchen worktop, out of the sealed plastic tub and scoffed the whole lot, without making a sound.

The vet said he would most likely be ok - he lay in his bed all evening belching, farting and occassionally licking his lips; dh was up first the next morning and found (by stepping in it) that the dog had vomited up all the fruit at the bottom of the stairs. The dog did look slightly apologetic, but I think that was because dh was hopping around and swearing like a trooper

My long-haired Weimaraner Sophie adores sausages. We had had a barbeque and had a lot of sausages leftover and were going to have them for tea. I told DH to wrap them in cling film and push them well back on the counter. Came time to look for them...nothing. Thought DH had put them in fridge, no..not there.

Looked around, saw scrunched up film on floor, eyes darted to Sophie who had a VERY guilty look in her eyes and then she skulked away. Guilty!!!

...was rather cross but got over it. Too much temptation for a mere dog.

My cocker once got on top of the worktop and scoffed most of a shepherd's pie that I had made, and which would have served six people. Her belly was alarmingly swollen and felt as tight as a drum. She was so uncomfortable for the next 24 hours that she growled at everyone who came near her. She had the most horrendous wind - I've never been able to contemplate eating shepherd's pie since.

Another time, I left her and the other cocker in the kitchen with the indian takeaway I had just plated up while I went to the garage to get a bottle of wine. When I got back there were bits of coconut and almond all over the floor and I looked across the kitchen to see the two dogs, each with one neat half of a peshwari naan in their mouths and looking decidedly guilty.
