Why not reward yourself with food?

    I had a dog that would find deer poo in the woods and roll in it.
    When I was walking him I had to be quick to pull him away when I noticed that he braced himself for a roll.
    He would walk back to the house very proudly afterwards. He was not happy about the bath he promptly got....

    I don't mean to derail the thread but this dog eating poo thing is fascinating to me. I wonder if it is the litter that they makes them eat it. We live in the country and all animals poo outside. I've never seen my dogs eat poo or smelled poo on their breath. But we've never had a litter box.

    One of my dog used to eat the other dog's poop. So who knows.

    But yeah we had to gate the litterbox away or it's a dog buffet.


    Coprophagia is somewhat common in dogs. My aunt is our vet and, as she puts it, "there's a poop eater in every pack." We have had dogs who never have done it and some who have relished it with great fervor. It is disgusting, though, for sure.

    Interesting, I guess we've just been lucky. Or maybe not so lucky. If our dogs liked deer poo we probably could have spent a LOT less on dog food.

    @bearbo27 Thank you. Funny you should ask- we adopted her from a shelter so no way to know for sure, but they said she was an Australian Shepherd mix. I assumed mixed with terrier of some sort because she's pretty small. So, I recently had her DNA done. It turns out she is poodle, Shar-pei, chow chow, Samoyed, and beagle. Not that it matters in the least as she is an absolute joy <3

    My Westies will sometime eat poo. Disgusting.

    Wait. What was the topic again???

    I reward myself with wine/beer/gin & tonic. If I spend a lot of time on the treadmill I will then drink back some of the calories burned. Makes the treadmill run easier for me to know I have a glass of wine waiting.

    Oh wow!! What an interesting mix. She is definitely pretty though. My grandmother had a pup that was half chihuahua, half Pomeranian and he looked just like a fox.
