doing dickish things. Today it was the small one that grabbed a bite out of a black tarry turd that was on the sidewalk. I don't know why I didn't see it coming. She has done dickish things before, but not in a while. Seriously, it's getting to the point where I have to be prepared to yank them if they take too much interest in an item on the side of the road.
Anyone else have this problem? What is the quickest way to get them to give up the crap they take in their mouth?

(5,640 posts)Did you chase her around a bit? I bet she loved it.
I had a dog that tried that bit, had to ignore it, eventually stopped eating other dogs crap.
If it is a one time deal, maybe she was just being naughty.

(46,700 posts)I took her to dog training, but she failed spectacularly. Too old and too set in her ways. I can get her to sit, and that's about it. Otherwise, she's a sweetheart.

(309 posts)Had two dogs a Basset Hound and a Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen and both ate dog poo. Some dogs do and some don't. I've had many different breeds and none ever ate poo. Thank goodness! It is so icky. Maybe ask your vet or google for info?

(16,377 posts)They are very sneaky about it, too, because I can never catch them. Once in a while, my oldest doggo will turn around while she's in the small bathroom where the box is kept and accidentally closes the door with her butt. I will only know once she starts scratching on the door and crying. When I go down to her out she looks sheepish and slinks away. Of course, I try to grab the kitteh poo as soon as it's deposited, but she usually does her business when I'm not around. I've never found a solution. The litter box has a dome cover but that doesn't even slow them down.

(1,816 posts)I had a dog once who used to try to bring horse feces in the house so he could eat it at his leisure. He was a large dog and he could hide quite a bit of crap in his mouth, so I had to do oral cavity checks before I let him in the house. If he was going to eat horse waste, he was going to do it outside.
