Dogs funny behaviour
3 Answers
Recently when ever we have taken our dog for a walk she has started eating other dogs faeces. She used to eat her own as a pup and now she is about 3 the behaviour seems to of started again. Her diet has not chaged and she is getting fed the same food and quantity as she always has. I am quite worried that she may get sick from doing this but its not fair not to walk her because of this.

Some dogs are copraphaeggic. Try putting a ring of pineapple with her food. There is something in pineapple which makes it unattractive in poo. Of course that won't work with other dogs poo. Try either keeping her on the lead until you break the habit or get her a remote controlled collar which emits lemon spray. When you see her misbehaving you press the remote and the spray is released. These collars are very effective. You are right to be worried about this habit as she could well pick up worms this way.
