Dog training tips: how to break bad habits

Eating Feces

Dogs and puppies will sometimes eat their own feces or the feces of other dogs. This is a habit that you want to break immediately. Dogs can pick up worms and parasites from eating the feces of infected dogs. One very important thing that you can do is to always make sure that you pick up the feces as soon as possible. There are medications that you can purchase from your veterinarian that you can give to the dog orally that makes the feces taste very bad to the dog. After a few days on this medication the dog should lose interest in eating feces.

Dog training takes a great deal of patience but the end result is a well behaved pet that you will enjoy for years to come.
