The video starts with the narrator discussing their dog, Jackie, who has a habit of stealing food from the table. They share that it may seem amusing from a distance, but living with the behavior can be frustrating. The narrator decides to seek help online, as they believe others have likely encountered similar issues.
They discover various websites suggesting to scare the dog as a means to discourage the behavior. The narrator decides to test this method themselves. They set up a situation where Jackie sees Sofia, another dog, unattended with food on the table. They then leave, triggering the CCTV, and return with a scary sound to scare Jackie when he steals the food. The narrator believes this will help Jackie associate the act of stealing with fear.
The narrator then decides to ratchet up the scare factor by using a ball on a string, which is triggered by Jackie's attempt to steal food. This time, the ball is attached to a saucepan that falls from the ceiling when the string is pulled. Jackie is successfully scared away from the food, and the narrator is pleased with the results.
The narrator then leaves the food in the living room, where Jackie has never been scared before. Jackie stays away from the food, and the narrator believes this is a result of the previous scares. The narrator then suggests adding a sausage to the food to make it more enticing to Jackie. Jackie does not eat the food, even when it's left alone.
Finally, the narrator pretends to leave the house, and Jackie does not enter the room with the food. The narrator believes that Jackie has learned not to steal food in one day. They conclude by stating that they have successfully weaned Jackie from stealing food, although he had been a problem for several years.
