I have no actual experienc but have heard that giving the dog bread (I think

Yeah. Your EXXXPERT trainer pal leah
got bit over her own dog doin that. Many
of HOWER regular dog abusers have
had their dogs seriHOWESLY hurt and
operated on for the same problem.

You mean instead of training your dog not
to steal stuff? It only takes a few minutes
to teach any dog of any age not to steal
fromt the C-HOWENTERS and eat poo
or garbage.

Too bad you and your pals don't know HOWE.

You're a IDIOT. And you're a dog abuser, tirya:

When I was walking Sassy and she'd do that,
I'd issue a stern "Leave it!" and a tug on the
leash, and keep going. If she kept her nose
there, I'd say "Leave it!" again and do another
tug on the leash and keep going.

We didn't get into a tug-of-war with the leash,
and I wasn't pull-and-dragging her - just a sharp
tug to pull her off balance from the scent, and
then I'd keep going.

Usually that was enough to get her to give up
the scent and come with me again. We got
to the point where I could see that she was
going to stop, and I could say "Leave it!" before
she actually did, and she usually left it and kept
going with me.

Dunno if that helps.

I don't know what other peoples' opinions of them
are, but I know our local PetSmart stores have
certified trainers in-house, and I have heard locally
of some people who were pleased with the results.

If you're looking for basic obedience, it might be an option.

Well, so far it's been 16 hours, and her energy level is the same, she has
eaten and kept down a couple of pieces of bread and some kibble (and is
looking for more...), has passed stool twice that doesn't show blood, and her
belly doesn't show any tenderness or distention. ::keeping a watchful eye and
fingers crossed::

Thanks to all for the responses.

A vet once recommended feeding our dog asparagus, the long fibers in it
might wrap around the small sharp splinters and help them pass without
irritating the bowels too much. So we fed the dog a can of it (too lazy to
start cooking asparagus for the dog =) ).
I suppose you would have to feed the dog the asparagus within hours after
it's eaten something like bone splinters. So this won't be of any help to
you now, but if it happens again (doG forbid) then you could try it.

Someone else also recommended the asparagus, and white bread - we gave her
some white bread, and fortunately she survived my stupidity unharmed. She's
fine...... *whew!*

Thanks again to everyone for your help!
