offtheradar 175 Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 My 7 month old GSD pup is fed on CSJ lamb and rice, raw lamb and beef bones and chicken carcasses but finds hers and other dogs $h1t irresistible. I've recently tried mixing in pineapple juice to the CSJ on recommendation from the vet but all that has done is loosen the stools. She has eaten the stools for as long as I've had her. My yard is cleaned every time the dogs go out. Can anyone offer any causes or solutions. Thanks for reading Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Casso 1,261 Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Is she out much doing doggy stuff, dogs but pups in particular are extremely interested in objects with s prey full essence , shit , piss , odours, blood , bodly fluids anything that activates their predator element, Juveniles before they have a focus are just exercising the predator in their character, as she matures other predator activities will overrule this avenue of canine behaviour When dogs are able to fully explore all elements of canine behaviour , the trivial shite (excuse the pun) usually ceases, Get her out , try a tug item when out , she needs a focus, Best of luck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Phil Win 79 Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Quiet common in GSD pups. If they dont get enough stimulation and doing different things everyday. My GS pup has done it, but i have told her no and distracted her, she seems to be getting better as she gets older. I think most of them grow out of it. I also find, some pups are worse than others. Some will just eat a bit, others go out their way to eat every scrap thats about. Just as a matter of interested, is your GSD working bred or show? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
offtheradar 175 Posted November 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Thank you for the replies lads. I'm lucky enough to have my dogs out at work with me every day but there is plenty of time for a bit of obedience search work or tracking or just a walk. She seems to be the sort who will go out of her way to find the $h17 even though there is plenty to keep her occupied. I thought the pineapple juice solution sounded like an old wives tale but after a bit of research on various forums I thought I'd give it a go. She is a working bred bitch I imported from the Czech republic, in every other way she is perfect wanting to please and settling in very quickly (I've had her about 6 weeks). I think I'm just going to go back to basics with her diet and house training and see what happens Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Phil Win 79 Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 She sounds well bred and your doing well with her in my opinion. Hopefully she will grow out of it, most do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
offtheradar 175 Posted November 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Thanks Phil, I'd bung some pictures up but can't download them even with a photo resizer. How's your dog bred, and what sort of work do you do with her Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Phil Win 79 Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 My one is still a pup yet, she is 4 and a half months old. Coming on well. Her mother was german import working lines and her sire was a mixture of working and show lines. She is coming on well with training, strong drive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pigeonphill 69 Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 how or why does rock sulphur work does it give the shite a bitter taste or works in a different way Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnipper 6,405 Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Don't know Phil but it definitely works. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
socks 32,253 Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Adds minerals that the dog is lacking hence once it gets the minerals it stops the dog eating shit ... Also very good for cooling the dogs blood in the hot weather which helps prevent skin disorders ...... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
