I agree. No matter what reason the dogs *starts* to eat poop,
after a while it seems to become nothing more than a habit.
When my younger dog did this, I tried many of the suggestions
mentioned in this thread and others - nothing worked. Finally,
I simply started picking up after both dogs immediately and kept
them inside when I wasn't at home. I'm now back to picking up
once a day, and my poo-eater now shows no interest in between
meal snacks.

Can't find the original post (ok....too lazy to look), but in my
experience, corrections after the fact, while not totally taboo for
those who have put in thte work and who have a clear approach
to them, can make mild coprophagia worse (dog tries to rid the
scene of evidence in order to avoid correction), if the dog was so
inclined to begin with.
I would hate to imagine what it would do to a committed
stool eater like this. Prevention is everything here, IMO.

Having dealt with only a couple of stool eaters of this magnitude,
e-collars and incredible amounts of consistency have been the only
thing I personally have seen work.
I'll check with Phyllis to see if she's copme up with more creative
solutions though, as she's usually the one that ends up dealing with
the poop eaters.
I'd go ahead and try the broccoli and such anyway, though if
he's so obsessed with it that he's scouring for others' poop, the
I think the help will be minor.

Glad he's getting better physically.
No, obsessive coprophagia isn't usually something that gets better
without some *serious* aversives. Which is sad. I'm glad you were
able to find people who were even willing to entertain the
thought....
at least that's encouraging!

It works with the right conditioning, timing, and appropriate
correction. The right timing requires that you spend time
waiting for the action to occur naturally and then apply the
appropriate correction if your dog has already received proper
conditioning.
In OTW, do that kind of stuff only if you're extremely
confortable with your dog and he's extremely comfortable
with you.

A nick is a time-limited stim. Good e-collars provide the
option for a "tap on the shoulder" stim which lasts in the
hundredths of a second.

A friend trains with an e-collar, and helps others with its
proper usage, yet not in Schutzhund where he used colloquially
positive methods to put a level one title on the youngest dog
in his club.
I strapped his e-collar on my upper arm, a sensitive area. On
the nick, I didn't feel much until he turned it up past what
he uses on his dogs. On the regular stim, it was--at the
worst--uncomfortable, but certainly not painful. The
*anticipation* of being "shocked" was the worst part,
but such anticipation is a human idiosyncrasy.

And he'll be returned and then returned again if this behaviour
isn't corrected now. I know that you know better than to
believe someone else will give him more chances than you have.
By aversions, I meant that you may have to do more than
call him off or give him a verbal interruption. It sounds
like Joe Joe needs some immediate and unequivocal limits
that distraction or NILIF will not supply.
I would consult a trainer knowledgeable in practical
aversion techniques for some hands-on before giving

Yes, but it seems that the point has been reached

I don't think that Tara should use an e-collar unless
she works with someone with a great deal of experience.

I agree. I thought that the post I was responding to was

Still, I think that Antares should keep an open mind

The fact that you, Alison, have never met a dog to

What it means is that you don't know as much about

I had a Dalmatian that would instigate fights with

nothing to her.
I know that that dog is not unique, and I'm sure many

It works with the right conditioning, timing, and appropriate
correction. The right timing requires that you spend time
waiting for the action to occur naturally and then apply the
appropriate correction if your dog has already received
proper conditioning.
In OTW, do that kind of stuff only if you're extremely
confortable with your dog and he's extremely comfortable
with you.

--Mike Dufort

Borrowed from: "Puppy Raising Tips" from
professional trainers, John and Amy Dahl.
"Around four months many puppies can withstand a
correction. Unfortunately this is the time they start
teething and if their mouth hurts, they may act
generally sensitive. If this is the case, be patient and
wait for all those baby teeth to fall out.
In training, retrievers often respond to physical correction
better than verbal correction. While "NO!" is extremely
useful if puppy is about to bite an electrical cord or steal
food off the table, when you are teaching them something
(like obedience) a sharp jerk on their lead or swat with a
stick gets the message across with less emotion and less
effect on their confidence.
If they drop the dummy and act like their mouth hurts
when they are teething, stop all retrieving and wait for
their mouth to feel better. A correction should be just
severe enough to get the dog to respond.
Repeated weak corrections are very stressful to the dog."

"From where I sit, there is a difference. I haven't noticed
any of the contingent who like Koehler trying to force

I personally believe the Koehler method is a more
humane way of teaching than any alternative I have
studied.
And I am not averse to learning--I have studied a
number of methods.
Koehler, of course, stops far short of the specialized
work I do with retrievers, and some of the things in his
book, such as making the dog walk behind the handler
on the "finish," are inappropriate for retriever work.
Why do I think Koehler's method is more humane than others?
First, I don't believe "corrections vs. no corrections" is as
significant to dogs as it is to people. Applied correctly,
Koehler's method uses *no* intimidation, fear, or emotional
manipulation. It is clear and definite, and the handler's
actions are always predictable. The method is masterfully
designed to prevent confrontation or vying for control in
any way. It places high demands of responsibility on the
trainer, and takes a great deal of commitment to do correctly,
so it is not for the casual "dabbler." When done well,very
few corrections are needed.
In brief, I think the clarity, predictability, and absence
of emotional blackmail weigh more strongly in the method's
favor, than the occasional brief unpleasantness of correction
weighs against it." lying frosty dahl.

Lori, I sincerely wish that were true. (the too bad

There is innate temperament that is not shaped by treatment.
The dogs our rescue gets from horrible abuse cases
quickly proves that.
OTOH, I also see dogs that have never had a
single triggering incident who cannot be saved.
I've got such a client right now, a 9 month old
GSD who we've been fighting to save for months.
He's been seen by Jean Donaldson and Leslie Nelson
and a slew of others, and has received nothing by loving
care all his life.
His littermates are normal, his breeding excellent, and
there was no triggering event or medical cause. As
much as it breaks my heart, the dog cannot be saved.

Or, at the other end of the spectrum, Rocky cowers,
thinking I'm angry at him - a reason I don't "yuk out"
others' dogs at agility trials or training.

Well, maybe one day -- when Friday doesn't take
correction so much to heart -- I'll try something
different. Right now, he's just getting the confidence
to work a few jumps ahead of me.

"I crate Rocky, even though he's 8.5 years old, but
only when I'm gone during summertime days -
maybe an hour at the most. (Other than hot days,
my dogs are always with me.)
While Friday has been totally reliable unsupervised
from the day I got him from a rescue, Rocky has not.
Rocky will go looking for food even in areas where
there's no possibility of food.
The good thing is that he likes his crate, runs for
it when I ask, and gets food when he's in it.

Jerry, I was appreciating your explanation

I learned to put a comic book down the back of my
pants. And sometimes my parents pretended not to
notice. In retrospect, that's pretty cool.

Hmm. You've got a point. Rocky is dog-dominant, a
surprise to almost everyone - some of whom know him
very well. I wonder how well Lucy reads dog? If she
can't, she'd get some ugly surprises.

Back at you with flat buckle collars. These are an
incredibly abused training tool, what with the number
of handlers I see pulling back and jerking on the leash
with both hands.
It's a good thing that most of us are here because of
dogs' well-being and not an agenda.
