I have come to the conclusion that they like there dog food too much, and those tootsie-rolls are sheer desert for them. LOL. Gigi was big on eating it too. Problem with all of these products is that once you stop them, they just start eating it again. With this new food that Gigi has been on for the past couple of weeks, she doesn't eat the tootsie rolls as often. I really try to catch her when she goes, and as soon as she finishes, I pop her a milk bone instead and let her see me cleaning it up and give her verbal praise for not eating it and that seems to work.
Don't see how you could do that with 11 dogs, unless you walk a couple at a time out in the yard on a leash, and reward them right on the spot with a treat, and let them see you clean it up and tell them they are good doggies. It should be easier to teach the young ones......much harder on adults as it has already turned into a habit.
