It’s very hard to offend an Aussie with something like putting your elbows on the table or using the wrong fork. Provided your dog is otherwise healthy, you probably don't have reason to worry if your dog enjoys the odd nibble of grass, either.

Along similar lines, “ Drop It” is a handy cue to use if your dog has already picked up something in her mouth. During our interview, Tribole mentioned that clients she's worked with are surprised to find that even when they're eating a highly palatable food like French fries or brownies, there's a point when those foods become less enjoyable and you can stop eating. Fruit and vegetables are a good source of vitamins and minerals and fibre, and should make up just over a third of the food you eat each day.Many dogs who chew and consume inappropriate objects simply want to chew more often, and directing those instincts to safe toys will give you the opportunity to reinforce your dog for choosing good items for chewing. It is important to build up value to help your dog understand that giving up an item they found is more valuable to them than keeping it from you or eating it. And you’ll also find that most puppies can be trained fairly easily when to drop something which is particularly dangerous or problematic.

However, using a combination of good vet care, management, and training will help you put an end to the problem. Generalizing “Drop It” to include longer-lasting chewy treats like bully sticks can help your dog realize that she can take a break from chewing for a moment to eat your small, super-tasty treat. This slows them down and requires them to work harder to eat, which provides them with mental stimulation and the ability to make eating slowly a habit.

While many people are likely to associate it with games like Papa’s Pizzeria and Pieces of Cake, there is so much more to food games than that.If your vet advises you to let it pass, get a stick and wear gloves so you can poke through your puppy's droppings to be sure the object is out of its system.
