Katie will eat anything. She is on a diet, so I'm sure she's always hungry, but she needs to lose a few. She will eat lettuce, and if I offer it to Uni she will just look at me like I am crazy. Katie once ate the foil and paper wrapper, like the kind from Arby's. It was wadded in a ball in my car for like a week. I ran into the market really quick and when i came back she had shredded it and ate most of it. Then she barfed on my lap on the way home. She ate something off the ground yesterday too. Don't know what it was, but she is fine, so I guess nothing too bad. But she is such a dog compared to Uni.

Then I would move the piece of food closer to her and if she tried to take it, again I would say "leave it" and once she turns away I would praise her and give her a treat. Now I can toss a piece of food right at her feet and if I tell her "Leave it" she stops and just looks at me.
This is such an important command so that your furbaby doesn't eat anything dangerous - like a dropped prescription pill etc... |
This is what we taught Uni as well. It's so funny bc if i say leave it (a treat) she cannot and will not look at it. If she looks at it, it's like she can't help herself and has to eat it. So in order not to eat it, she has to look away.
