Dog with habit to eat things he shouldn't

[Rebornagain]

Anybody elses dog a menace around food and will eat anything?

My Shih Tzu has eaten a chocolate orange took a crunchie out of a bag he is a pain.

Tonight he has eaten haribo god knows how many rings , he has been vomiting for a couple of hours around 4 times now and feeling sorry for himself.

How can I stop him from just eating things that he shouldn't?

How long ago did he eat the chocolate?

Dogs are scavengers. You need to get better at keeping food out of his reach.

Keep them out of his reach, especially chocolate. Too much - particularly if high cocoa plain - could kill him.

That's all there is to it.

You really need to keep stuff out of his reach - shih tzus are small dogs and what you've described him eating could make him very poorly

Next time please take him to a vet if he has a bar of chocolate or haribo, or at least call them for advice.

Keep food out of reach, don't ever feed 'treats', teach your dog to stay away from human food.

Be responsible - the dog is only eating what you buy and leave out for it. It's not a dog problem, it's a you/household problem.

Our lab could smell out chocolate from miles away! I lost count of the amount of forbidden foods he found and stole. Only way was to make sure he couldn't get to them. Easier said then done though in a busy household.

2 little dogs I walk for someone else -- are terrible for this. Scraps of anything including feces Every walk with them is a challenge to keep crap out of their mouths; 'dash sniff dash sniff dash sniff sniff scoff" is their pattern. Argh.

I wondered if I walked them 2 hours after meal time if they might scoff less random rubbish, but owner says that doesn't help.
