We have all felt like that at sometime!!!!

The trick is to realise it only brings feelings of guilt and achieves very little - easier to say than do! Give yourself a break, we all have bad days.

As for eating poo....youwill never be able to keep her out of the litter box - it is a natural behaviour and she can't help herself. The easiest thing to do is move it to where she can't get at it.

There are a couple of reasons that dogs eat disgusting things. For some it is a learned behaviour. As pups they see their mother cleaning up the nest area by eating the debris (poo, really). It is partly instinctive as wolves are in danger of loosing pups if the nest isn't kept clean. It also aids a wild canid to eat anything that is edible - poo is only digested food and will still have some nutritional value, as will horse poo and cow poo and sheep poo -Paddy's favourites! It may also supply the dog with information about prey animals in the area. Cat poo seems to be very tasty indeed - probably due to the highly flavoured food that cats are fed. Unlike cats, the dog family are not pure meat eaters and eat a variety of less yukky things too - wolves will eat herbs, berries and fish....anything that's going!
