Puppy eats her Poo/feet biting Poppy the puppy is eating her poo. She is eight weeks old. She also has an obsession with bare feet and shoes. Has anyone got any advice please? |
That is a puppy for you! As far as eating her poop, I would try cleaning it up immediately. Mine only eat Cat Truffles that they dig up in the yard. The feet thing, puppies have a feet fettish. Mine still love my bare feet (my 2 puppies are 8 months old). The like to lick my feet and my toes and bite my toe nails. Your puppy needs to be taught how hard it can bite you. I let my puppies chew on my hands at that age. If they start to bite hard say "gentle, or easy" and if they do bite to hard yelp in a high pitched voice or say OUCH in a really high pitches voice like a puppy would yelp when hurt by a sibling puppy. This will help teach your puppy what is too hard. I don't mind being chewed on by the puppies and even now my 8 month old likes to gum me still, almost like a pacifier. He will chew on my hands, wrists, feet. I rarely have to tell him he is being too rough because he knows what too rough is, but it needs to be taught at a young age. Enjoy your puppy! If the poop eating continues there is a product you can purchase to add to their food to make it smell bad to the puppy, or you can add pumpkin to their food or I have heard of adding pineapple and they don't like to eat it anymore. |
For poop eating, I'd buy Solid Gold's SEP (Stop Eating Poop). |
