hello , as my puppy grew to bin level, he could stick his head in and help himself,( the lid swings down to open,) so I took to putting it up on the work surface, I got fed up with it being up there, so I smugly bought a bin with a lid that flipped up to open,........which took him all of 60 seconds to get his head into !!! Next came the peddle bin......... and he mastered that in no time !!!! What next ? lock and key ....any one have bin stories or solutions then ????
Winston age 4 and Oscar 2, raid the bin still - Winston steels nuts, socks, tissues you name it but Oscar only steels things off Winston (such a good boy ) Anyway if the bin can be knocked over and the contents spill out then you're straight onto a loser. I've now resulted in putting the rubbishish in the wheelie bin - daily and just getting rid of the kitchen bin use a carrier bag and take it out every time you go out - problem solved .... unless you don't have a wheelie?

My chocolate lab did exacly the same, what i did was never left the bin and him alone. i know it is pest keep moving it i had to put it on my work surface too I did this for about 2 months and now I can leave it where he is and he does not touch it (fingers crossed) if this fails get one of these bins that go inside your kitchen cupboard
Our 'bin' is a supermarket carrier, safely put on top of the cooker hood (good job I'm tall) Taken out a few times a day to the bin outside, with lids, kept on with bungy (sp) cord
I wake up this morning to find fried rice all over the floor...and cassie licking her lips...
GUESS WHO FORGOT TO TAKE THE BIN OUT !!!!
But i was soooooooooooo tired and it was stormy....oh well we will wait for the rice and wot ever else to run through..i'm sure someone left a bit of curry...i fear the worst lol
Our bin has a lid, that produces a specific clack when closed. Lenni knows (of course all our labs know) that he isn't allowed to raid the bin. Therefore, he ignores the bin if someone is around. But when I go to the bathroom and close the door I can immediately hear the clack of the bin's lid.
One day I flounced out of the bathroom to find my dog standing beside the bin with this I've-done-totally-nothing-and-I-never-would-do-anything-I'm-not-told-to-do-mien. Back in the bathroom, after closing the door, I heard the clack again... but there's no chance to catch him red-handed.....
The first night I bought Corrie home at the age of 7 months he raided the bin so it has always lived on the side in the utility room!
A few months ago I bought myself a new pedal bin, tall one and it wouldn't fit on the utility room side so I put it on the floor in the kitchen and guess what ............ Corrie (nearly 13 yrs old now) raided it !
