[nagdu] Re Dogs behavior and how to stop it

[Elizabeth Rene]

I would subtitle this message, Nature's Bounty!

I live in a lakeshore apartment community, and we get flocks and flocks of 
geese settling on our lawns and paddling on the water.  They're so much fun 
to watch, especially when Alvin comes outside, because they seem to all tell 
one another that a big dog's coming, then all take off in a ruffle of 
feathers and a chorus of honks.

But they do leave a gift on the lawn when they go, and it isn't manna!

I've spoken to Alvin's instructors about his fascination with this ghastly 
(geesetly?) food, and they tell me there's nothing I can really do except 
keep Alvin away from it.

When I relieve him in his own area, I have to guard against him snacking 
instead of sniffing to leave his own gift on the ground, then I pick up 
right away.  Sometimes, I find myself retrieving more than one kind of 
present.

Guess the old French saying is true:

Chaq'un a' son gout.  To each his own taste.

You bet I watch him closely!
