Don't hold your breath, Suzanne! Jodie has twice been very ill (visits to the vet) as a result of eating rubbish.

She still makes her priority in life!! Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad

Can I ask, Enid, when she started eating things she shouldn't, have you told her off every time?

We don't exactly sing her praises! Rolling Eyes

Of course she's been told off in the strictest possible terms, every time.

The reason I wanted to know was because if you haven't told her off every time, especially in her puppyhood and younger days, then the habbit can be much harder to break later on, but I suppose you know that already though.

We had a dog that always did it and it was a NIGHTMARE to get her to stop. We would scream at her any time she as much as sniffed in the direction of one never mind get her chops around it. Even a stern leash correction at times wasn't enough to get her to stop trying for a bite!!!!!!!!!

Some dogs are just oh I swore awkward and pig headed like us humans!!!!!!!!! Laughing Laughing Laughing

Perhaps, Marcella....but I believe in most cases that if the dog is brought up properly from day 1, then this type of problem can be avoided.

If it can't be, then there is possibly something unstable about the dog, like hormonal imbalances, for example. It's a thought.

Well Jet was treated no differently to any of our other 4 GSDs and she was the only one who did this. Our first dog tried it as a small pup (horse's Shocked ) and when corrected and told no he learned very quickley and stopped.
With Jet she did for a time and it was much more difficult to get her to stop ......... she eventually did but with a lot more work. I don't think it's just a matter of how we deal with it, a dog has a personality too and what works for one dog doesn't necessarily work for another.
As an example, Murphy and Diesel that we have now........ Murphy misbehaves I yell at him and he immediately stops, ears back and comes straight back to me as if to say 'sorry mum' whereas Diesel, I yell, he looks at me as if to say 'aye right mum' and continues ........... he requires a firmer hand.
So it's not a simple case of treating a dog 'correctly'........ whatever 'correctly' may be.

That's unfair, Nicola.

Jodie has been brought up properly "from day 1" and is a happy, healthy, loving dog.

I didn't say correctly, Marcella, I said properly. And by that I mean proper socialisation, feeding, boundaries, training etc.

I do understand that every dog is different, and what works for one dog may not work for another.

If everything possible has been tried (not hitting) to stop bad behaviour such as eating things they shouldn't, then after implementing different training excercises and the change of diet etc, then I believe there to be something mentally wrong with the dog.

If I had done all of the above and more, and my dog still behaved unacceptably, then I would speak to the vet about hormonal tests, fibroid tests....This is what I personally believe.

I am sure glad you aren't involved with children Nicola. If you applied those same 'beliefs' to kids I am sure half of them would be on medication or in detention centres by now.
