I never said that i didn't want to take the time or didn't have the time to train her...... I was asking for ideas on how to stop/change the bevavior........ Thanks everyone for ALL your replies..... I have heard some really great ideas on here as well as some not so good ones and will try some...

Or even a third choice...not let it get near any eggs?
Or even a fourth...train it to leave them alone during this egg gathering time, as described in the OP.
Now, I'm not against some(not exactly whipping) corporal punishment for major infractions by a grown dog...but whipping...

Yea, thanks, but as i said before... thats Not gonna happen.... I am not going to SHOOT my 12 year old daughters dog...... That is not fair to her. If i was going to do that i wouldn't waste time on here asking for other people for ideas. sorry.

well, thats all i need........... Her to get a bunch of hooligan-stealing-egg-sucking friends comming over and eating eggs! What a party that would become!

Don't think that thought ain't crossed my mind a time or two!..... But, once again.... Daughter's dog..... I would never hear the end of that one!
No, she wouldn't waite for the egg, she would eat..............THE ONLY ANIMAL YOU CAN EAT AFTER IT IS DEAD and BEFORE IT IS BORN............... all at once too!

I may have too.... I talked to my husband about that........ he says, yes, that will stop her but... I dont want her to not do it because she cant do it but because she shouldnt do it and we said "NO".... that make since to anyone?
All my other dogs know what "no" means and how to sit, stay, down... i can walk them on a leash with only 1 finger! all my dogs know how to mind and do tricks and stuff like that but this dog breaks all the rules! she is so darn bouncy! My daughter named her Pixie but she don't even come to her...
thanks for all the replies! That is a GOOD idea! for some reson i had NOT thought to have a lid for the basket... I think i an going to go to town today and maybe buy like a sewing basket/picnic basket something like that or maybe even an icecream bucket and use the lid with it!... and trust me...
It would be GONE!!! when i go out to gather eggs, i have to put the bucket of eggs down at my feet because i have to use both hands to shut and lock my gate.... EVERY day she does this! I set them down and no matter how fast i am that dog is faster! She swipes a mouth full of eggs and runs like...
