eating 'rubbish' on walks

Hi all

Zac normally picks up the odd twig on his walks, but on tonights walk he was a demon lol ... He was putting twigs, stones, bits of paper and even a discarded sock in his mouth!! I spent half the walk telling him 'no' and 'leave it' and pulling him away. Does anyone else have this problem or is it just a puppy thing

Very much a puppy thing! Everything they come across goes into the mouth!

You just need to keep your wits about you & step in quick! Dempsey's favourite was always dirty tissues....

it does improve!! Moo was a pavement hoover! There are leads that you can get if your want nore control Xx

def a staffy thing!sash been the same since she was a puppy,her favorite thing is card board,she rips it to shreads then wants to eat it,she'll even sit and wait for the card board from a empty toilet roll

Lol glad I'm not alone in this

I'm curious, what leads do you mean? He has a harness at present.

He actually did look like a little Hoover, sucking up everything in his path ha ha

Lol @ dirty tissues, we have had that one too bleurgh

I know I shouldn't laugh at sash but

We use a harness as well and still haven't solved this problem with ours.

"Pavement hoover' - great way to describe them. Tyson as well but he is getting better.

You could try using a halti - that way you have control of the head so you can turn her away a lot easier.

We still have this with Rocky everything it seems has to be checked over for approval first by his mouth then he will sniff at it, but then he is a strange boy.

lemmy loves picking stuff up today was babies dummy and chocolate lolly oh and the tissue. god knows what he will find next

Lol its funny what they find! Zac is obsessed with twigs ... He picks them up, has a chew, spits most out, and repeats the process

Tonight was twigs, tissues, some plastic covering and a mcflurry cup!!

Lola is a pavment hoover too. She lke chewing gum and sweetie wrappers. Anything remotely edible!!
she's mental...
