Dogs are innocent beings, not the scheming and revengeful type definitely.
If Muffin has been on the same diet before your maid left and had never practised coprophagy before, then boredom is the problem. Boredom- the curse of dogs. Dogs hate boredom. Left with nothing to do, Muffin probably resorted to stool-eating to kill time. Sounds disgusting? Yes, to you. But to dogs, eating stools is an entertainment.
To break this habit, first step: get medications from your pet store to deter coprophagia. Next, ensure Muffin has plenty of exercise before he is home alone. Try going for a morning jog with Muffin or play fetch with him until he is tired. This is to ensure he will be resting and recharging his energy later rather than channelling his energy to somewhere else later. When he's all alone, give him a comfortable dog mattress for him to rest and a little toy for him to play should he feel energetic in the middle of the day.
Patience and love is the solution to break this habit. Try the above methods. |
