How Do You Stop Puppies From Munching Toads

[lhorosko]

Hi all

I have a 6 month old Border Collie. She is absoulty beautiful.

However, she seems to have fun pounching and catching toads.

she has ripped apart many toads, and frothed at the mouth. I always rinse her mouth out.

but she keeps going back for more even after a time out.

Could someone please help me with some ideas of what to do???

;)

thanks

If she is only chasing them at night you may have to lock her in the house. I have known of a couple of dogs who have chased them for years but eventually got killed by the poison.

Unless you're there to supervise, my advice is to lock the dog somewhere the cane toads cannot access...probably inside your house is the only safe place. When we lived in Cairns, the only time Lilly was outside was if I was with her and she STILL got toads...a few close calls I can tell you!

IMO a dog can't be reliably trained to leave them alone. ;)
