Why is she like this?

More of a moan really. Love my dog to bits. Lab X. 2 years old. Generally well behaved BUT she’s a bugger for stealing food. She and her buddy sleep in the kitchen so naturally no food is left out. Bins are taken out of the room. Anyway, these are things shes eaten in the last month

  • carton of baby milk
  • sweetner powder
  • empty baby bottle
  • a plant bulb?

and today she’s had my candle making wax. (Rang vets on all occasions it’s becoming a running joke what she will get next)

She is out for hours a day, goes most places with us where she can and spends many hours running about in the fields. Has many toys, played with constantly and she’s tired out most days. Gets fed very well.

In the mornings my partner lets them out for a wee at about 6.20, I let them out at 7 for a little while but bring them in the kitchen till about 8.30 whilst I sort the baby. It’s usually in this time she makes her move or if we go out for more than 10 mins.

i don’t think she will cope well in a cage and the rest of the house is carpeted and whilst generally housetrained she wees when she gets excited…. And a lot of things excite her 😂. Love her dearly but I don’t understand how she can find food in things that absolutely should not be food to her!

She’s taken out so much. I know it’s probably something to do with separation but I’m on maternity leave and we are rarely apart so I don’t actually know how to fix this?

So move the bin to where he can’t reach it or put a barrier up so he can’t get there.

No real words of wisdom to offer - yes keep things away and where she cannot reach them, but also keep reinforcing ‘no paws on the worktops’ etc.

I have 2 labs , one of whom definitely has the hunger gene. With training, and rewards - say leaving a biscuit on the coffee table - if he doesn’t snaffle it he gets a bit of chicken- he did grow out of it .

Not the hunger of course, but the counter surfing.

Some ddogs are just greedy buggars... At Easter our ddog ate 10 portions of raw cod meant for Good Friday.. Last week she opened the freezer and ate a loaf of seeded brown bread and a whole 1kg box of frozen chicken thighs..
And she isn't even a lab...

No remorse at all.
