How to stop a dog from eating eggs?

Date sort Score sort
Im just amazed the steps that people will go to hurt their dogs just because they will eat an egg. It isnt that difficult to restrict access to your henhouse.

The thought of hurting one of my dogs that way just makes me sick.

Nobody said anything about hurting the dogs! Everything mentioned was edible. Even habeneros....DH loves them! The idea is to give them a taste of something they don't like. If a mustard egg is hurting a dog then you better call child services because my kids had mustard on their hot dogs today!

I use tea tree oil to discourage bad eating habits. Put a couple drops of tea tree oil on an egg, if he eats or licks it, it will taste horrible to the pup; but in small amounts (just a couple drops like 3 or 4) is beneficial to the oral mucosa. It also curbs the habit cause the dog will hate the taste. It works for me.

I've tried wasabi eggs. It worked for a little while but Bruce (Mountain Cur) is back to eating eggs. I only open the small bottom gate of our coop, close the big top gate, and even built a little tunnel for the chickens to get out of the coop through in an attempt to keep him out. The lanky brat army crawls on his belly through the tunnel and eats all the eggs in the bottom boxes. Lately he's also taken to standing up on his hind legs and getting all the eggs he can reach in the top boxes. Maybe I need to try the habanero juice next time... he's eating all the eggs!
 
My dogs like chicken, and eggs, and have no access to the birds or the coop. That's best!
Maybe adding a noxious flavor to the inside or outside of the eggs would work for some, but I wonder... Dogs have great noses, and could easily discriminate between 'normal' yummy eggs, and 'adulterated' eggs. I'd expect that many dogs would figure it out and continue the egg eating.
Any long term success stories here?

Is you're dog bigger then the chickens?
Make a small chicken hatch where you're dog doesnt fit through.
If your dog is small and you're chickens can fly a bit. You can make the chicken hatch 3' from the ground and make a shelf in front of it that is big enough for a chicken to land on. But doesn't hold you'r dog.
