Bella - "Leave it!"

[Sue, Murphy and Bella ()*o*()]

As most of you know by now, my Bella-B eats EVERYTHING and ANYTHING. She is not particular either, but her favorite has always been tissue. We are a household of hidden wastebaskets, step-on lid containers in every room and hidden tissue boxes well out of reach. Visitors are "warned" about keeping their possessions like socks, combs, brushes, wallets, you name it, behind closed doors.

Well I am happy to report after months of working on planting tissue in her path and practicing "Leave it" Click and treat, she has finally got it! I can leave tissue on the floor and she will go over to it, maybe take a sniff and walk away every time. I would never have thought she'd do this a few months ago. I feel like such a proud mama! Now if I can just get her to stop eating her next favorite thing.....poop!

"poopulated" Funny!!! LOL!

 

I'm glad it's working. I'm going to register Sophie in an obedience class where they specialize in clicker training. I'm looking forward to it!

Woohoo good job Bella!!
I know some people say this doesn't work for them...but it did work for us!!! Put a scoop of crushed pineapple on her food and after a few days (once the first of the pineapple starts to digest and turn to poop) she will no longer be interested in her poop! If you haven't tried it, do...it did totally work for us!!

Great Job Bella.... I don't think you should plant poop in your house but maybe you can go to a highly poopulated area and work on getting her to leave it there!!

 

Yippie for no more tissue eating!!!
