Puppy rolling in fox poo

[Hollie 21]

My whippet pup ALWAYS finds some poo to roll in, the other day i took them out while it was pouring down so what she found was all wet and gooey, she got it all over her collar as well and i had to bath her when we got in, she has just done it again, it isnt as bad this time but it is still rank

I dont want to be bathing her down everyday but is there anything i can do to deter her? (she usually listens when i raise my voice at her but im usually too late )

Think if you could find the answer, you would be one very rich person

Im in the same boat as you Hollie, mine loves rolling in fox poo, but his favourite is anything dead and decomposing. No matter how much I wash him can still smell it for days afterwards :sick:

Use antibacterial hand wash: I know your'e not supposed to use human stuff on dogs but I've found that any of these work: for really bad smells like rotten fish I just spray the dog with Dettol antibacterial surface cleaner, rub well in and rinse straight off: never had a dog keel over on me yet for doing that, and it works.

 

You could always set the dog up by planting mouse traps all round a previously sussed out pile of fox sh't: then when the dog goes to roll in it the traps all start going off: they won't hurt the dog but they might give its toes a nip LOL Hopefully it will then associate getting pinged by the mouse traps with the smell of fox sh*t: worth a go.

You gotta catch it doing it and give it a bollocking at the time, no point doing it after. Watch her going to roll and run up to her telling her NO!! in a stern voice, it will work if you catch her young. My terrier was a bugger for it till i did that. Oh and the cold hosepipe wash at home ....he wasn't too keen on that one. hasn't done it for years now

Some dogs just do it, one of my three looks for it everytime and even remembers where it has been the last time! Use tomato sauce, the vinegar gets rid of the smell.

I was told if you put a tiny drop of lavinder oil on the back of the dogs neck every now and then works.

 

I never tried it as I was lucky enough to catch mine doing it and tell her off, she hasn't done it since.
