beeredup Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 Bullet has developed a rather horrid habit of eating poop!! other dogs,cats,and his latest favourite is bird poop!!! once he finds it he goes deaf wont move and is very stubborn (he gets short shrift off me for doing this) i read some where this could be due to some vitamin deficiency?? he is on Chapel Farm 24+ performance food is it his diet or is it just he is a mucky pup??

beeredup Posted May 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 yeah to be honest Bullet is responding well to being told to LEAVE IT!!! his basic obedience is progressing well in the last 10 days since i got home on leave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Adam Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 I found with my pup he grew out of it once he got to five months, but he would only try to eat his own. Firmly understands the command leave it now though and won't eat a thing unless I tell him he can have it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldypurple Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 I was of the understanding that if a dog eats it poop, the food that it is being fed to it is too rich for the dog. its probably a wives tale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosd Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 My 20 week old PP has been doing well with his 5-10 minute daily training. This morning I decided to take a different route through the park where he'd get to see loads of rabbits during our walk. He's really interested at the sight of any bird whether on the ground or flying, so I though to introduce him to the sight of rabbits. He got a taste of rabbit poop which made him totally deaf Wouldn't take a blind bit of notice of me today even when I told him off. Back to our usual route as of tomorrow...the rabbits can wait.
