Max Main's Mamma Donating YT Member | All the time girl! He is only six months so he is into everything! We were outside and I noticed he had somehting in his mouth. Normally, I can clap my hands and say, "drop" and he will. This time, he wasn't letting go. When I reached in his mouth to pull it out, he had a death grip on it and I had to really struggle with my 3.5lbs dog to get this thing out. When I finally got it out, I realized it was POO! The worst part of the story is that it wasn't his poo.

| When we're outside and ZoE comes across something nasty I don't want her touching....poo, bugs, gum on sidewalk...etc., I've always said "yucky" and she leaves it alone. The first time since I've had her that I broke a glass dish on the kitchen floor and shards went everywhere and ZoE rushed towards them, I automatically yelled "yucky" and she backed off. So "yucky" is our toward meaning don't touch it or go near it. It works for us

| We can say drop, but Dex won't. He loves pulling my Wife's dishtowel from the holder, He runs down the hall with it like it's a treasure. I think it's time to see if the local dog whisperer can help.. |

| Mina is almost 16months old so she isnt picking up as many harmful things. If she picks something up and looks at me I can say "drop it" sometimes I just say her name and she will spit whatever it is out. The exception to this is electrical cords,the girl loves electrical cords and phone chargers that are plugged in. I am eternally making sure that no cord is showing and that I know where she is at all times. |

| Just the other day, my Dexter was walking around whining and he had something in his mouth. I called him over and took it from his mouth. I trained my dogs first thing to just let go of whatever they have, or they just drop it into my hand. Well he had a GRAPE! My brother fed my nephew some that morning and one must have been on the floor. I was sooo upset, but thankfully disaster was averted and not only did he give it to me, but he didn't even so much as try to eat it. I think he was looking for a place to bury his 'treasure'. PHEW!
