Learn how to work with their instincts, not against them, to create lasting results that make walks enjoyable again.
100% force-free!
Is Scavenging Putting Your Dog at Risk?
Your dog grabs food scraps, rubbish, or animal droppings before you can stop them.
You’ve tried shouting, pulling the lead, or using treats, but nothing seems to stop the scavenging….
You feel embarrassed when they eat poo, crash a picnic or steal a child’s snack.
You’re constantly worried about what they might eat and whether it could harm them.
Does this sound familiar?
These behaviours aren’t just frustrating—they can be dangerous. And can escalate to the worst moment: rushing to the vet, terrified your dog might have eaten something toxic.
Scavenging can feel overwhelming—but it doesn’t have to be. But in most cases, the frist attempts to gain control, make things even worse….
Why common training Can Make Scavenging Worse
Scavenging is natural for dogs—it’s part of their instincts as opportunistic feeders. But in our world, many dangers come with scavening. That’s why we need smart ways to address it.
Many dog owners instinctively try to stop scavenging with punishment—pulling their dog back, shouting “no,” or physically removing items. But these approaches often have the opposite effect!
But simply trying to stop the behaviour, especially by suppressing it, can backfire:
Instincts are still at play:
Dogs are natural scavengers, and stopping them doesn’t address the root of the behaviour.
Frustration builds:
Denying their urges can make dogs more determined to grab things faster.
They try harder and faster:
Your correction teaches your dog that they need to grab things quicker to avoid being stopped. You can’t win this game!
Communication breaks down:
Repeated cues and corrections can make your dog tune you out, ignoring your cues entirely.
To truly address scavenging, you need a method that doesn’t fight against your dog’s instincts but works with them. This will create the lasting, positive change you are looking for!
