Farm Safety!
Number 1….
Dogs do not eat sheep poop!
Okay dogs are known to eat poop and or roll in it!
What is wrong with eating poop?
Wormers that are given to the livestock sheds thru the poop. It is possible for a pup or a grown dog to ingest a large enough dose of wormer to harm or even kill a dog, or at least cause brain damage.
So …
1. I do not allow my pup to start eating poop.
2. I make noise or have my pup on leash so I can teach this to the young dog.
3. If the pup does get poop in her mouth I make her spit it out.
4. She is learning what no and ank means. Again few words but they mean do not eat poop!
