He is being fed 4 small meals a day on beta puppy food ( chicken & rice ) just noticed twice now the smell of **** after his meal but after going to sort it... found nothing but the smell and marks on the paper... i think the dirty little ****** has eaten it ... any thoughts, does this sound normal Edited November 24, 2009 by badger.22cal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloyd90 Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 Yer mate its normal, luckily mine never did it but I hear alot of them do. You can add pineapple to there food I hear to make it taste really bad, apparantly it helps stop them lol Dont go nuts thinking theres something wrong with your dog, you just have to try and stop it lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polski Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Is the pup kept indoors? if so, as soon as the pup has finished eating take it outside(it is more likely it will want to unload soon after eating) keep an eye on it, and clean up as soon as it dumps.

So long as there aren't any stray unvacinated dogs wandering around on the actual ground your pup is going on it should be fine (obviously I mean if you do have a yard/garden). One of my cockers used to do the same thing it earned him the nickname PooBreath, its something they learn from watching their mothers clean up after the pups. Never tried pineapple but heard it works, if possible try not to let your pup see you clean up after it either, as it may think its got competion.

rimfire4969 Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 yes we have a garden, just following vets advice which was do not allow pup outside untill 1 week after his 10 week jab !!! Our dogs always have the run of the garden straight away, as previously said as long as no unknown dogs have access. Pineapple :unsure: so i have heard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasper3 Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 not uncommon for pups to do this..my boy loves the horse ****. i seem to be winning that one now with a stern "AGH" as for letting the pup out..it is fine in your own garden as long as other dogs can't get in..I think your vet means walking the streets or fields where there are other dogs good luck with the new pup...don't forget..he is only a baby and will be looking at you for the rights and wrongs in growing up.. jasp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
activeviii Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 you only need to keep the pup away from places where other dogs may have been, pavo is the main one, in your own garden, as long as no dogs have been in there for a while, you'll be fine. my vet also said that there is very little chance of a problem now days and that most vets are just covering there ****. i didn't take mine out front until the week after but i was doing the garden bit from the day he came home. never used paper from day one, just put him out every half hour and straight after feeding as well. not had a mess in the house, had a few pee's though. eating poo, he still tries that one now, fox shate is his thing but getting told off when caught is stopping him most the time. dirty cocker by the way.
