If only Rosie would take the sticks etc to hide, She runs off and eats them and this is getting to be a real problem Three times now I have had to pin Her to the floor and hook out bits of stick, twice wedged across the back of Her throat, once wedged in the roof of Her mouth. We play fetch and give with a treat everyday, She will bring back a ball for a treat but nothing, and I mean nothing ,will get Her to relinquish Her 'treasure'.On the beach She crunches shells, razor clams a particular favourite, but at least they do crunch up easily but the sticks are a nightmare.After having to hook out a small stick again today at the dog park I am beginning to think She is going to have to be on the lead most of the time, or muzzled.She knows 'leave' and will walk past horsepoo etc but sticks are everywhere and 'leave' is completely ignored.I would like to go out in the garden and tidy up, ideally Rosie could be out there with Me. But my time will be spent retrieving twigs and sticks.I have tried letting Her keep the ball and She will happily carry it until She finds a 'treasure' to munch on.
