dog help

[parapaul]

My GSD does the same - but she'll only do it when she's wearing her Halti harness. I thought she was just trying to get the harness off because she won't roll in crap at all if she's not wearing it.

Bloody stinks though!

You're lucky. My dog not only rolls around in st, but also eats it. She's quite fond of our cat's deposits.

Yeah I had to "discipline" my dog out of that habit. fking disgusting.

[johnnywgk]

lefty guns,

what did you do to stop it,

think i might have her put down,



















and sell her for horse food.

[Scraggles]

carry a belt and lash the dog a few times when it rolls in poo, must be so much fun in the car on the way home n

[Lefty Guns]

She started doing it from a very young age so every time she did it she got told off and a whack with a newspaper or suchlike.

Doesn't do it anymore...

I must admit, I'm old-school (which some would class as cruel) when it comes to dog training. She gets lots of love, attention, cuddles, encouragment when she's good and gets punished when she's bad.

[johnnywgk]

nice one.
cheers for all your ideas

Punish? Punish a cutie-wutie doggy-woggy? Cripes, the lentilists will be beating down your door...

My GSD knows to run and hide if she's chewed anything while we're out

My dog hates being washed.

She still rolls at every fresh opportunity, even though it means a thorough wash with mint and tea tree shower gell (best for getting rid of the smell).

Fresh fox poo is like au de horny to dogs.

Whacking with a newspaper may work but more likely to end up with a dog who'll run away, become fearful etc, verbal should work most of the time if you watch them carefully. Does your dog stop doing something when you say no. This is the most basic command your dog should respond to, first of all be watchful of what your dog is doing, don't allow her to wander too far away, as soon as she appears to show an interest in a patch of ground distract her with treats, play etc. If she does look like she is going to go in for the roll very very firmly say her name and follow with a definite no. Hopefully the sudden unexpected command will stop her in her tracks but then immediately say her name and no again and distract with treats. It will take a few attempts and won't work 100% of the time, but trying to run over to her to whack her with a paper is going to either make it into a chase game or make her fearful. Plus you will get some people not taking too kindly to seeing a dog being hit by a paper.

One of the things I do (though it hasn't worked completely) is that she is told off when she starts to roll, and if she doesn't stop, she is put back on the lead for the rest of the walk.

It pretty much worked, 95% of the time she doesn't roll in poo anymore, BUT now and again she just can't help herself..... She hasn't worked out that when she gets home she gets a bath as a result (Which she hates!).

From a young age, my dog has known that if she's naughty she gets a whack and if she's good she gets praise. It has worked very well for me and my dog is obedient and loving. She doesn't run away, she always comes to me when I whistle her, she sits when I tell her to sit, stops when I tell her to stop, stays when I tell her to stay, lies down, gives me her paw, etc etc when she's told to.

Can I be clear: It's not like i beat her repeatedly with 3x Sunday times rolled around a bit of iron bar, she gets a light slap with a newspaper and a telling off (just her name in a grumpy tone) to remind her that she's been bad. She'll do her sad face for a few seconds (or minutes) until she gets a kind word, pat on the head or whaetever to let her know she's not in trouble in more. The time between whack and forgiveness depends on the severity of her crime!

I'm not saying it doesn't work for you and your dog however I can't agree with the approach because most people will use it incorrectly and it is far more likely to cause a dog to turn to fear aggression. There are other and better ways (in my opinion) to deal with inappropriate behaviour of this kind. We will have to agree to disagree with the approach on this occasion. (I am also aware that for a very very small number of dogs physical punishmnent will be needed but I really don't think it is needed for this situation)

Can I also add that I don't think anyone here was accusing you of beating your dog repeatedly let alone with an iron bar!

Try a water squirt collar.

Some places are now letting you hire them for a month at a time.

Works a treat at correcting unwanted behaviour.

[megamaniac]

Try making a loud enough noise and call her to distract her from what she's doing,a whistle or airhorn should do the trick.As for the st eating our two think rabbit purlies are caviar and the fresher the better.We haven't managed to stop that.
