Le'Tiff Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 (edited) We have a dog, that's been beaten up by its previous owners. He's getting better at socializing with us now, since he's realizing that were no threat to him..plus, he's becoming allot more confident. But, he keeps rolling in Cow or Horse Poo, and its wretched to pat him or even go near him - it smells that bad. Im just wondering if there is any way of stopping him from doing that. Of course, iv heard of tying them up on a leash. But he's a Kelpie/Koolie and really no dog deserves to be leashed up all the time if they aren't a threat to others. Anyone got any tricks you used on your dog or know of some others that have used a certain method to stop a dog from rolling in manure? thanks and kind regards, Tiffany.

poodlefan Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Unless you are there to stop him, giving him access will pretty much guarantee rolling. Is there a place like a run you can keep him where he won't have access to manure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le'Tiff Posted May 19, 2009 Author Share Posted May 19, 2009 Well, we live on a farm...a beef farm so its kind of hard to keep him from having access to get into the paddocks. Around our house is the only place that doesn't have a cow pat on it, I haven't actually seen him rub in the crap, but when i call him over for a pat he stinks of it. I cant wash him, he's still too timid to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miranda Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I've got a dog who loves to do that, she loves eating it too, especially when it's nice and fresh and green I usually manage to keep her away.......but not always It's part of the joy of owning dogs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

persephone Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Training , and training, will enable you to call him away from it IF YOU SEE HIM there is no way tho, which will automatically stop him doing it- it is instinct... like lifting a leg to pee. I would suggest trying THIS with your dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le'Tiff Posted May 19, 2009 Author Share Posted May 19, 2009 i probably cant, the fences we have the holes are quite big, so its easy for a middle sized dog to get through. haha and i thought poodles were all very...snobby? i had no idea they were humble enough to roll in poo - oh and eat it Perfect! thanks persephone, Poodlefan and Miranda for the suggestions and comments. much appreciated.
