Greedy Girl

Hello,

I have a little question if anyone could answer for me. I know most dogs are greedy and will eat just about anything, but are Staffies worse than other breeds?

My girl is really greedy. She has 2 meals per day (is on a diet at the moment, vet said she is overweight) and will eat anything and everything. We have to scan the footpaths when we take her out for a walk because if there is anything she will be on it before we realise. She is so bad that she has previously eaten a muffin case and tonight she tried to eat a plastic chip fork (not sure if a chip was attached).

I am getting to a point now that I am considering getting her a muzzle for when she goes for a walk just so she doesn't end up eating something that will seriously hurt her.

Does anybody have any suggestions please? Any help would be greatly received!

Thanks

They can be gannets! You just have to be one step ahead, and have a firm leave command, there is no magic touch with it. No need for a muzzle

Loki ate a muffin case a couple of weeks ago too ugh, they're so stupid sometimes. You'll just have to work on her 'leave it' command, start off at home somewhere quiet, and build it up to outside when she's got lots of stuff to try to eat that you can practice. Drop it is also good for something she's already gotten in her mouth. Besides that, just constant watching, I'm afraid

Suki is like this as well. A good leave command will help, we also use a squirt gun to keep her from eating off the ground

romeo has eaten a muffen case too... i think its a given. what ever he finds he eats, or at least trys to
