Her notes from the rescue indicated that she ate poop occasionally, so it's not a new problem.
When we first brought her home she was submissive. She still is for the most part but she can get mouthy, which I correct immediately. I don't think she had obedience training but she performs sit and down pretty reliably. Inside she will come every time. Outside is a different story...she will come most of the time but sometimes she will look right at me then turn around and walk away, and stay is pretty much out of the question. I know I have to sign her up for obedience, but we are addressing another issue right now which is that she had hip surgery while at the rescue and we're trying to get her strength/stamina built up.
I've started to leash walk her in the yard every time she goes out so I can pick up after her. I hate having to do this since we have a nice big fenced yard, but there's just no other way. If I leave her alone, she eats it.
Off to check out that link now. Thanks!
