| Intestinal issues Louie has a bad habit of eating anything on the floor including pieces of carpet...He's been having some urinary issues as some of you might know, so when I took him to the vet I was told he had alot of crap in his intestines. We took his nylabone away because the vet said that may not be what some of the crap was. But I'm sure this is also a result of him eating and licking everything he sees Ive tried bitter apple and we vaccum like everyday...any suggestions???

| You can tell him no... My dogs do the same thing. But when ever I see them with something they shouldn't have...Like fuzz... I say come here, what do you have. Sadie is funny cause now she just drops it! She is 19 weeks. Chewy is older and doesn't do it as much any more.

| We have an eater too. Izzy just last night chewed up my hubby's eye glasses, the ear stem parts. Luckily she didn't swallow anything this time, the pieces were accounted for We didn't catch her in the act, so not a whole lot we can do then. Hubby shouldn't have left them on the coffee table, he KNOWS that she gets up there and takes stuff, we had to move the candy dish when we discovered that little fact Thank God there weren't chocolates in there, but she sure had an upset tummy after eating some Sweettarts I've taught my girls the command "drop it". If they willingly and quickly drop the offending item, I give them a treat. They have learned this so fast If they don't drop it, I take it from them, they get a stern NO NO, and no treat. So they normally will drop it You're doing all you CAN do, really, it's amazing how quick and resourceful these little boogers can be!

| You can also offer a toy or chew once they have dropped it! |

| Yea, Louie is kinda funny he'll run from me if he knows he's caught with something he shouldn't have like fuzz or a sock...His dad just looks at him and says a stern, "drop it" and he does automatically lol it must be the high pitched voice of mine, I get no respect lol Needless to say I leave the training to dad, he's a good boy so im not too concerned tho about that thanks again all
