Re: Thieving dogs

another training group which uses the click and treat method in haslingden we have an 18month old lab he was into eating wood when out we got him a dummy what they use in gundog training and he carries that when we're out and we also throw it for him to fetch wears him out better than just a walk but we don't let him have it in the house

By the way, he's like 'the girl with a curl' - when he's good, he's very, very good...... (when he's asleep usually! ). :dancedog:

I think he would surprise you what he can do under proper guidance and with a clicker. The timing with the clicker has to be spot on for it to work. Some friends of mine thought that by clicking the clicker the dog would do things for them. That is not what clickers are for.

Re: Thieving dogs

Can't offer any advice just empathy!My dog steals ANYTHING. Honestly, she stole a packet of disposable razors from the bathroom this week, came home to her chewing them, no food products can be left within her reach even things like sugar canisters or packets of cereal, she doesn't actually eat them just opens them and spreads all over the floor , anything in a box-including a packet of oil paints I had delivered.... Real pain she is.

Re: Thieving dogs

Sounds familiar, they put the frighteners on you sometimes ! I spend half my time checking there's nothing left lying about around the house, think I'm gonna end up with OCD lol.

Dogs can be taught to leave and not steal.
