Very old post, I know, but instead of starting a new one I will use the one that came up in the search.
Well, my new puppy Jimmy seems to love eating rocks...and not just any rocks...he loves little pieces of concrete.
The previous owner put in a new pool deck but didn't dispose of all the chunks of concrete that was there before and decided to be artsy fartsy with it and put it in various places in the yard. Well, little pieces are also around and I've picked up what I could find but you know how puppies are!
Plus, my patio deck is concrete with a big crack that he loves to try and did out some pieces and inside the house there is bare concrete too where there is some smaller cracks with little pieces coming out.
How the heck do I get him to stop?
I've worked with dogs for many many years and have never had this problem. I was thinking getting a super soaker or a metal can with rocks or maybe a air gun to scare him when he tries but I don't want to traumatize him either....oi. I'm in a jam...a concrete jam!
I guess the only option I have if I don't find a solution is to spend many hours fixing cracks and picking up tiny pieces of concrete!
