   I'm only jumping in on this thread now, so don't know if the   
   Puppy Wizard responded to the original poster with a link to   
   his Wit's End Dog Training Manual, which he offers at no cost.   
      
     Although you are correct to say the dog needs to learn to   
   not jump on the table, and your suggestion would certainly   
   contain the dog, I don't think it would TEACH the dog very   
   effectively or quickly.   
      
   The Puppy Wizard (Jerry) offers a very quick, kind and gentle   
   way to teach a dog anything, even eliminating separation   
   anxiety and allergies.   
      
   I hope the original poster sees this, and if you own a   
   dog, perhaps you might be interested in taking a look   
   also.   
      
   You'll find it's so much quicker (and kinder,   
   and gentler) than any other method.   
      
   The proof is in the pudding, right?   
      
   Just give it a try.   
      
   You've heard the old  saying, you get more with   
   honey than vinegar. If you do try this method and   
   find it effective, please pass it on to other pet owners.   
      
   You'll be doing a good deed.   
      
   I'm planning to email it to my friends, relatives,   
   and business associates who are pet owners   
   as a Christmas or Chanukah gift.   
      
   And more, if you have any questions about the training   
   method, or run into difficulties, unlike the tone of many   
   of the Puppy Wizard's posts (aka the Grim Reaper),   
   you'll find him extremely helpful, always available,   
   patient (yes, I said patient:) and kind (yes, I said kind:).
