How to stop dog rolling in it?!!!

robert_harper_2000

also if the seaweed doesn't work, try getting one of those dog correctors and start teaching him each time he does it he will get the surprise shot of air near him. Should put him off....

My border collie cross loves rolling in horse dung aswell as the westie my OH's dad has, They bloody stink! How do I stop them from doing it because she's stinking the house out and it's stopping me from stroking her

In my house, horse dung is considered very mild:o
Now pig poo.....that is considered the ultimate dog perfume by one of my terriers. She loves playing with the piglets anyway but when she rolls in a nice big pile, she actually drips poo:eek:and nothing but nothing totally gets rid of the smell in under a week. I tried tomato sauce and had a very pink dog for a few days.

The rottie has rolled in something dead before and come back not just honking but with maggots through his fur.


They're not fussy - they'll eat or roll in anything - horse, cow, pig, fox even chicken poo. And tortoise poo is suprisingly stinky, something to do with all the greens they eat;)

I don't know if this is just my dogs:o but when they eat any of the above, they like to come back and belch in your face....

Yep my two love to roll in anything stinky! And eat it !! They hve made me actually throw up on occaision and that's not something that happens often!!

The only solution I have found is to not let them off the lead unless I am prepared to bath them! As they are small an extending lead with a two dog connector thing at the end means they can explore and have some fun but so far they haven't rolled when they are on it ! It does seem mean to stop them running around though but as I have been unwell for some months I have to put my own needs first ! At least they still get decent walk .

Glad to hear somebody says the seaweed doesn't work - I seriously doubted it would because I live next to the beach and my dog loves nothing better than rolling in ... rotting seaweed!!!!

Oh the joys of country living - makes fox poo seem quite tame really.

This week Im struggling with sopping wet cow pats - now those just drip.

Dead sheep is a nightmare, two week old road kill of any description is stomach turning

Actually I think I prefer that he eats it rather then rolls in it

Dogs and fox poo - its Chanel No 5 to them

Like you I have found it impossible to stop so I just keep an eye and if I see the shoulder drop I roar at him to gerroff and he runs

Yep, I've got mine's body language sussed as well - there's a very particular roll of the shoulder that means she's about to hurl herself into something really vile. I scream at her, all the passers by turn to see who the mad woman is shouting at, mutt stands there looking like butter wouldn't melt, and I quickly haul in the lead before she reconsiders.

I have had to stop walking her in the local fields though because there's more cowpat than grass, she's trying to roll in it and eat it at the same time, and my patience levels evaporate after the first 3 tries (which takes less than a minute!)

The worst one was when she rolled in some serious amount of diarrhoea in the woods which covered most of her back and shoulders. I'd taken her there in the car, and I was trying to work out whether to risk letting her get in the footwell with possibly disastrous consequences or whether to just give up, abandon the car and walk the 5 miles home.

OMG mine dog looks tame compared to your lot if nothing else you have all cheered me up immensley and i have LOL at every post......its funny really when you know other owners are waiting for the shoulder drop as well

I love the way we all talk about it with loving annoyance thanks for the brilliant funny replies x

Dogs will roll and eat anything. Dirty things they are Mine will eat his poo and drink his wee if he could. He had an accident on the floor a while back and started drinking it and it made me feel i'll

So anyone who lets their dog lick their faces and stick their tongue in their mouths need help

Best way of getting rid of smells and stinks of any sort of foul substance they have rolled in (and I have to admit my border collie female is the worst offender for the this - my two german shepard boys so far don't seem to want to roll in the same stuff thank the lord!) is to rinse off the most of the cack in the bath or outside with the garden hose, then to either use tomato ketchup, a tin of chopped tomatos, tomato jusice or passata on them. Rinse off then shampoo as normal. The tomato neutrilises the smell
Cheap and effective!

Dogs are pretty grim at times - a while ago I noticed my mum's dog was peeing into one end of a muddy puddle whilst mine was drinking from the other end of the same puddle!

I also had a particularly interesting new years eve as a kid, when I was looking after my little brother who was aged about six- - we had been watching something on TV about old mother Shipton predicting the end of the world, when there was a huge bang and all the electric went off.

My little brother presumed this was the end of the world, and began to cry - then, (having eaten too much christmas chocolate) he promptly puked all over the carpet. Trying to clean up puke in the dark whilst holding a candle is hard enough, but soon I realised the bowl I was scooping it into kept emptying... and realised the bl00dy dog was eating it as fast as I could scoop it up... well, trying to stop the dog scoffing it, whilst trying to calm a hysterial child, added a whole other dimension to the challenge!

Also, one dog I know, who is a notoriously fussy eater, will gobble up cow and horse poo like it is some sort of delicious delicacy.. makes me wonder what it tastes like actually!:rotfl:

Oh, the grim realities of dog ownership!
