Mariah does the same thing! Yesterday she grabbed an uncooked spaghetti noodle that dropped to the floor while I was making supper. She ran off with it and ate some of it before I could get it away from her.

Unfortunately my daughter plays "tag" with her...so if you chase Mariah - she will RUN! It's truly impossible to catch her. I've been teaching "come" with her treats. But if she has something she knows she shouldn't - she won't always come - even for a treat.

I LOVE the "Leave It" command and will start practicing that tonight!

THANKS for the details of how to do it and for the great ideas!
