OY! It's really tough when they value food and will not respond to a leave it or drop it. My thinks drop it means eat it as fast as you can.

Skylar does the same thing. We are now working on her realizing that me putting my hands in her mouth means she’s about to get the best cookie EVER! However, first I have to convince her that she ONLY gets the jackpot cookie if she drops what’s in her mouth first, NOT if she swallows it too! We are starting at square 1 (when I touch your lip you get a jackpot treat) and we will slowly work up to me taking something out of her mouth and trading it for the jackpot.

Wow, and here I am saying to my sister the difference between Labs and Shelties are that Shelties are more discerning. I guess I was wrong.

Hahahaha! Skylar is definitely not the least bit discerning! Even her breeder is impressed with her “hooverness”. And they’ve been breeding dogs since they were children!
 
My husband called Lacey the Piranha. She watches and grabs anything that hits the floor. The other day he was picking zucchini out in the garden. Before he finished picking one, she had grabbed it and started eating it. She will eat anything these days.

Spirit would never in a million years eat zucchini but I'm sure Skylar would think it's fabulous!
 
Well, I came home once to find Ally pulling with all her might on the concrete reinforcing wire (super stiff and heavy) that I had wrapped around my tomato plant to try and foil my Shelties who raid my tomatoes EVERY YEAR! She had her teeth on the wire and was pulling with all her little 17 pounds!!! :eek2: :rolleyes2:
