I got a puppy last Friday. He is 8 weeks old. Here's the problem..he eats chicken poop. Not sure how to break him of this. Trust me he eats like a pig. I feed him 2 cups of puppy food a day. The recommend 1 2/3 cups but he is extremely playful and out most of the day with me. I have tried saying no and he does listen until he finds the next pile. I have free range chickens. Should I pen the chickens or is this just going to fade as he gets older. Please if you have had experience with this I can really use the advice. Also I would like to know what to use for keeping the black flies and mosquitoes off him. Anyone got ideas. I heard of some things but I really have a problem with home remedies.
He already knows sit and he gives me his paw on command. He has only made 3 potty mistakes one was poo in my bedroom. Not good. He is now on the tile part of the house and things have been much better. He is learning not to chew and doing good with not jumping on people. He has to be reminded sometimes. His name is Buddy but I call him bud. He is half pit and half labradoodle. Seems mellow pretty much and minds good. He's real sweet. I just hope to break him of the poop eating. He needs mouthwash!!!
