Question... she wants to eat everything she can get into her mouth good or bad.. she was camping with them over the weekend, on Mon morning she threw up what would be a large cup of sticks, stones , grass, and other debree..., How can she be trained to only eat proper food. ? she is driving me crazy watching her when she is out side by her self.... I watch her all the time , and she is fed plenty of proper food...but will still eat anything she gets into her mouth...

The "store dog" where I work part time is a Golden, Rottie and Blue Tick, and at about 8 months old it's not unusual to see her with a chunk of asphalt and gravel in her mouth, chewing it up. Obviously, when we see her, we stop it but she's a puppy that's kinda what they do, a lot of 'em anyhow...

He was the only dog my mother ever let in the house. I think his “wing span” was almost 30”. 😊 He grabbed a full, round ham slice off the kitchen counter when my mother turned her back one Sunday morning. 🍖 He paid for that mistake…my mother went after him with a rolled up newspaper for about ten minutes. When our pear tree started dropping pears he’d eat the over-ripe ones, get drunk and run around the yard like a wild man for a while and flop over, passed out. When he woke up he’d do it again. 😊 NRA Life,Endowment,Patron or Benefactor since '72.

But I’ll give a close second in the negative dept to Bassett’s. Only been around like two in my life. Didn’t like either one. And I don’t think they liked me much either.

He brings Sticks and Palm Frowns in the house and proceeds to chew them up and eat them and he will steel my handkerchiefs and chew them up if I leave them around. Our little girl Flirt acts more like a cat than a dog. Dogs have personality's and some do what they do even with training. But Puppy's are Puppy's ya gotta watchm 24/7 Last edited by funshooter; 07/30/21.
