I am going to keep working on behavioral training, but I think I need some kind of prevention in the meantime. I see lots of reviews about muzzles to keep dogs from biting, but that's totally not an issue for my dog—she's very sweet; she's just also a vacuum, and the area where we live is fairly busy so there's always trash, leftovers, and who-knows-what on the sidewalk. She has tried to eat: laundry lint, tree bark, dead bugs, dirt, leaves, plastic, etc.; anything she can fit in her mouth.
Just today, I was checking traffic before crossing at the corner, and she scarfed—something. It was completely gone in an instant and no amount of fingers in the mouth could get it out. I'm terrified of pest control products or straight-up poison. She's a little rescue mix, probably part Chihuahua and maybe JRT, maybe 13 lbs. Should I be looking for a cage-type muzzle, or would she just smoosh food through the bars?
I'd be very grateful for any advice. Thank you!
