Started researching the forum today to look for advice on healthy treats for a puppy...good ones to use for obedience training...but got sidetracked and started seeing mention of stools in various posts. Good stool, bad stool...
I am assuming a good canine stool should look similar to a good human stool, correct? Only smaller?
Please feel free to get specific. Thx.

The Smith family beleaves that you should be able to kick a turd off your driveway without getting any on your boot.

No comparison. A healthy human poop is suppose to float .TheIndian wrote:Started researching the forum today to look for advice on healthy treats for a puppy...good ones to use for obedience training...but got sidetracked and started seeing mention of stools in various posts.

A dogs stool should have shape. The kick it method works.

Got it...Thx. Not sure I would have a totally clean boot after kicking the stool but it has shape for sure. Definitely not loose.
My GSP pup is almost 13 weeks and until all his shots are up to date, he confined to as much activity and simple obedience training we can provide in the yard only for now. All he does is want to eat acorns and twigs on ground. Pretty sure this has a lot to do with teething but eating all that stuff can't be good. It frustrating trying to prevent it as I don't want his intestines to get messed up. Any advice on getting him to quit it is appreciated.

He is a puppy and that is what puppies do/ I doubt he is eating but is chewing. Better sticks than shoes, furniture, electrical cords, handkerchiefs, and other items of clothing. I guess if it was me I wouldn't worry about it. Stopping it would be worse than the chewing.

It's not how many breaths you have taken but how many times it has been taken away!
Has anyone noticed common sense isn't very common anymore.

That's not what Dr Oz said.

Thx Ezzy. Yeah, you right...better than him eating the house. We've got plenty of toys to keep him busy.ezzy333 wrote:He is a puppy and that is what puppies do/ I doubt he is eating but is chewing.
