Spoiled old dog learned a new trick? Dog Breed Discussions
I have two dogs, 12 and 13 years old. My foxhound/lab mix has been acting out, for attention. Or spite... I don't know.I banished my cigarette habit outside. And this hound, who is my shadow, always followed me outside. But as the weather cooled, I moved into the garage, and the hound followed. I open the door and let some sun in, and it is comfortable. But the hound started wandering off, so I quit letting her out into the garage with me. And after 12 years of never stealing food off of the kitchen counter, she is now stealing food off of the kitchen counter.raw frozen chicken2 lbs of chocolateAnd today some fresh baked bread, cooling on the stove top.How do I correct this behaviour? My regular alpha dog tricks aren't working."Ti's easier to beg forgiveness, than ask permission." -my hound... My Mom's dachshund ate a whole bag of Hershey's kisses, and it never phased her.My neighbor's chihuahua, did the same thing, and survived. It developed diabetes and died a year later.Don't give me this crap about "Chocolate killing dogs." It's an urban legend. Are you afraid to mix Pop Rocks with your Coke?Yeah, real helpful answer...
