Kitty, what good clear suggestions. When this question came up recently my
mind went blank on how to address the problem. The things you suggest are
very similar to what I used teaching my dogs...and it works....most of the
time.
Kita is still young and impulsive and fast and has an excellent nose .
However even she leaves food if I can get any cue, command, control, in
place before she gets it.
I remember several years ago walking with Zoomer along a city street.
Without missing a footstep she turned her head a bit and came up with a
Kentucy fried chicken carcass from in the leaves. I told her to drop, and
she did as we both continued walking forward. Zoomer was very good with
leaving food if I told her to leave it. And she was very good at finding
stuff . I've never had my dogs to the point where they would ignore food on
the ground when we were out someplace, but I also know I didn't work very
hard to teach them that. "Leave it" and "Drop" were generally sufficient
for my needs.
Jo
