    She runs away when something in her mouth. How to stop that?

    Because she puts bones into her mouth and eats poop, I have to take them from Latte's mouth when drop it doesn't work. Therefore Latte developed a running away habit. I started to let her eat things and pretend as it is OK when I approach her but when I come close, she takes wing. This is really bad. What can I do?

    I know this won't help you but I have a funny story about this:

    Oliver was in the yard and was supposed to be doing business and he found something in the yard and put it in his mouth. I quickly called out "Oliver leave it". He didn't. So then I said "Oliver come here". He did but as he came to me he quickly chewed and swallowed whatever he had in his mouth. What a butt. At least he came when I called him? Baby steps.

    Anyway, I am sure you will get good advice on this topic. Good luck!

    You have to teach her to exchange her prize for something better.

    I feel like the board gave you loads of advice when this came up before. Have you tried any of it consistently?
