Need advice on a dog deterrent

Dogs live thru their noses (think: bloodhound; bitch in heat). An olfactory-based deterrent would be easier an more effective,

Pick up some of those "safe mousetrap" training aids from a pet store. Place in the waste basket on top of the contents. The other alternative is to use a covered waste basket where practical.

I had a female Samoyed that would pull anything out of the garbage. I used baited mouse traps. Slowed her down a little. Finally just used a 20 gallon steel trash can in the panty. She got into a porcupine on a camping trip. 4 times in one evening. I guess the guy could not get away from her. I finally put her on a tag line.

Look on Ebay for "Scat Mat". Put one where the dog will have to step on it to get to the can. After a few days, you can turn it off.

Thank all you for your suggestions. But I was hoping for an idea for an electrical gizmo. Come on, you electrial folks, get creative!! ;-)

Some times you need an electrical device, other times you just need a rolled up newspaper...

Get one of those doggie shock perimeter training collars and place the boundary transmiter inside the garbage can or closing off the kitchen};-) all poor woofy needs a lesson in domestic manners };-o

mount infra red motion sensor to wastebasket.

tripping sensor activates electric hoist that raises basket to above doggie height.

wall switch defeats operation or lowers for emptying.
