You guys have no idea how much poop that puppy ate... she ate every poop she could get at completely, also rubbed it all over her face and mouth and the crate and floor and me... if you think this is normal and something worth keeping in your house... i am shocked. I have to tell you its not just a little small habit she has... she has a huge problem... its not as insignificant as you make it sound. I know, some dogs will try it sometimes... but this dog actually seemed to prefer to eat it instead of food. Do you think that is very healthy for it? |
And yet she pooed in her crate on the way home last night and didn't eat it.
My Yorkie thank you very much is trained to go outside. And just what actions did you take to correct this behaviour. First before answering look up the threads here on What can be done. But first and foremost if I had a dog that ate poop, I would make sure I would pick up poop immediately.
I have never had a dog that pooed in crate, but I do know sometimes that happens. Usually because the owner has left the dog too long in crate, or there was a tummy upset
Quite simply you didn't have enough gumption and caring to deal with the problem, to research solutions, and to spend the time needed to correct this behaviour.
Three wks is literally a blink of the eye, in the raising of a good dog.
