Our 14 week pup Echo has taken to hoovering up almost everything she sees while we are out walking, be it litter, sticks, stones, grass, leaves, etc etc. I know that dogs are prone to this and that this will always be a part of life with a dog but she seems to take it to ridiculous heights; she'll "suck" something up, find that its inedible, spit it out and then suck it up again just in case its now edible. She'll pounce on every single leaf in the park.
Needless to say a good chunk of walk time is spent on convincing her to spit out the various objects that she has tried to inhale (we are still working on the "give" command). Does anyone have any advice on how to reduce the number of items she picks up? Or is this a fad that will fade? Gareth
