Ha! Welcome to MY world. I have tried for almost the 2 years of my Ruger's life to not eat stuff outside. It's like pulling teeth! If it's on a walk or just out to pee he's constantly sticking his nose to the ground. I have tried taking toys on our walks (which he is on a leash), I would toss the toy no farther than the leash, he will get the toy & a stick, leaf, bug, etc.
He is doing better with picking stuff up but dropping it. But, there are lots of times we fight trying to get junk out of his mouth. Once in the mouth his jaws are locked. No telling what he has swallowed in 2 years.
Wish I had a solution.
