Does putting a dog on a table cause problems by itself? I have Max jumping up on the park picnic tables and he does a few cute tricks, IE "wave to the kids Max" "how many kids you see Max." etc. at first he was a little stress but now he seems ok. I Don't want to screw him up, he already had some problems. Ed wrote extensively that this was crap training for protection work and I'm not going to argue. He seems happy enough. jumps up there when I don't want him to sometimes.
YES! it does... why do you think all poodles are such nerurotic freaks, They get put on tables every 6-8 weeks!
KIDDING!!
No, having your dog get on a table at the park does not mess with his mind. Look at what agility dogs do. Matter of fact, I always teach my young dogs to climb all over everything (sorry ED) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
It has nothing to do with the table. It's what is done to the dog while it's on there. When I was showing <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> terriers, many times the spent hours on the table during stripping and grooming. Some of them would lean into the grooming lead and fall asleep. Now when my wife caught my GSD sitting on top of the (closed) Weber BBQ pit, it was very stressful on the dog. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I believe "Table Training" and having your dog jump up on a picnic table or other piece of equipment are two different things. That later, done safely, falls more in line with agility work than defensive training. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
LOL!! My puppy Heidi, when she was 12 weeks old, jumped onto the chair and then onto the table to help herself to a hotdog one of my kids carelessly left for her to find. If I didn't see it for myself I wouldn't have believed it. This puppy loves to jump and climb so my husband and I take our dogs to the park where they climb the slide and actually slide down (we started with a small childrens slide and will gradually work up to the bigger one. We've also started her on other play equipment at the school and wished they had a teeter-totter there but I suppose we could make one ourselves and teach her to walk across.I'm surprised with her willingness to do this. Her previous owner did she was a great escape artist. She was the first to climb out of her pen at 6 weeks.
I had a breeder tell me to send my dog to a trainer in Georgia and have him table trained so he'd be more aggressive. Yeah right, I'm not gonna ruin my dog.
