Do your staffs lick the paint off the Walls?

When I had my staff she had a really weird habit, she would lick the paint off the Walls right back to the plaster. She would do it more on a hot day but she always had water etc available.

Do any of your dogs do it? Does anyone know why she would of done it?

No and No sorry, how very strange they can be

no billy has no interest yet - hopefully

She had two favourite spots, right behind doors!

How odd. I know how you can get her to stop though, spread some pepper or chilli powder where she does the licking. I assume the paints non toxic?

She's been put down a year ago. I was just curious but will keep that in mind incase my new pup decides to pick up the habit.

Non toxic, hmm I'm not sure it's just emulsion paint I think, I never thought it was good for her but if I'd move her away shed just go straight back. Nightmare!

woody did the same although the paint was covering wallpaper- he soon moved on to tearing the wallpaper off!!!!no harm done to him - just kick started me into deciding to decorate when he eventually stops! i think staff have a bit of OCD, once they start something they get obsessed with doing it over nd over and over again. he has only done it once in the last month so i think the end is near!

Zero did this started licking it and hate to tell u and hope she dont but he chewed a hole a HUGE one in the wall, know this sounds mad but i couldnt find and polyfiller so used Mastic but he licked it once and never touched it again so my (insane ways as my mate called it) put an instant stop to wall licking/chewing
