Hello!
I am taking care of my friend's 7 year old "Puggle" for two weeks."
I find her behaviour is rather interesting and sometimes difficult. She LOVES to get into anything she can the moment you're not looking!! If there is a bag of dog treats on the table and you leave the room for just 2 minutes, that bag of dog treats will be gone. (learned this while at my friend's house) So I have found that I need to either have her in her kennel or on a leash following me around the house. I have quite honestly never had this problem with Chester. He doesn't take what is not given to him. She will loot search through my sweater pockets and jackets for treats in the pockets! 0.0
She is very allergic to a lot of things so I really have to watch her to make sure she doesn't eat anything she shouldn't. I always need to tell my brothers not to feed her anything, which has proved hard for them.
So I was wondering if you guys have any ideas for dealing with this. I have used interrupting sounds to stop her a lot of the time. But I feel like I am looking after a puppy rather then a 7 year old dog sometimes. I am sure this is a common problem so there is probably a lot of information on this.
