    Sneaking into the kitchen to look for random snacks to munch on is a habit that many of us are probably guilty of. Well, if we humans find it hard to fight this habit, then what about our furry friends? Remember that slice of pizza you were saving for dinner? Or that slab of steak you were supposed to have for lunch? Yes, all the good food that you saved for yourself only ended up in your pet’s mouth. Well, you’re not the only one. Several fur parents have also come forward to expose their pets stealing food, and we’ve compiled them in this post!

    From counter surfing, leaving crumbs behind, to blatantly snatching their hooman’s food, these pet’s crimes have been caught on cam! And although it can get quite annoying at times, we just couldn’t stand staying mad at them for long. At the end of the day, we’ll just laugh about their mischief and accept that it’s all part of being a fur parent. So, if you’re curious to know what food other pets have been ransacking, then keep scrolling down!

    As it turns out, pets feel rewarded when their attempts to steal food have been favorable

    As you probably already know, rewards motivate our furry friends. This might surprise you, but they actually get a sense of reinforcement when their attempts to steal food have been successful. Animal behaviorist and consultant Kate Mornement from Pets Behaving Badly elaborated on the subject and gave an example:

    “A dog who has successfully stolen a whole roast chicken off the kitchen bench is likely to repeat the behavior given future opportunities.”

     

    “My cat steals potatoes and walks around like a boss.”

    Kate described the act of stealing food as “an opportunistic behavior.” So, when animals realize that such behavior has its rewards, they are more likely to repeat it over time.

     

    “It has nothing to do with being dominant; rather, it’s influenced by previous experiences finding food on kitchen benches and tables.”

    Luckily, all it takes is effective training to break the habit of pets stealing food

    Kate suggested “making an incompatible behavior, such as staying on their mat, more reinforcing than investigating food in the kitchen.” You can do this by rewarding them with treats as they stay on their mat while you’re eating or preparing food. Kate also advised against leaving food on tables and countertops, especially when you can’t supervise your pet.

    “This huge loaf of bread traveled along with my parents on a 600 km trip to get home. I love this bread as I don’t get to eat it frequently. Dog thought it was a great idea to taste-test it just in case it’s poisoned. Results turned negative. Good dog for being so thoughtful”

    Indeed, such training requires a lot of patience. Nevertheless, the animal behaviorist guaranteed that “over time and with repetition, your pet should be less likely to steal food.”
