The Lab Manure Roll
Nope. Haven't cured them of that. My lab knows when he did a bad roll. I just have to say "Get in the shower" and off he goes into the walk-in shower to get his punishment bath. You would be trying to break thousands of years of instinctive behavior. Good luck with that.
If your manure is in a pile, slap a fence up. Some cheap poles and some chicken wire worked to keep them out of my compost pile. They liked to eat my maure pile. Once it crusted over, they ignored it like they'd ignore a pile of dirt.

The Lab Manure Roll
Some dogs are worse with the roll problem than others. I have no idea why. As mentioned, some prefer to just eat it. Mine love rabbit turds. It's like chocolate-covered raisins. yum!
My lab hates baths. So it is a punishment. But they can smell the shampoo so they want to go roll again to get rid of that smell. As soon as mine are out of the shower they are pile-driving into the carpet to try to get rid of the smell. A week or two of restriction to the fenced area helps the smell wear off naturally and restricts their access to maure, dead animals, etc.
You have horses so you have plenty of manure. It's gonna just keep happening now and then.

The Lab Manure Roll
My mom has had goldens for years. Some do the roll, some don't. Some love rabbit turds and some don't. One would hunt down the wild asparagus and eat it up. She knew where every patch was in the fields and would systematically check them out. Course it's the same dog that swallowed a chipmunk it caught while the critter's foot was still wiggling. Freaked my mom out.
Her golden that doesn't roll is the same one that was tied to the grill to keep from taking off bumming. He saw a rabbit. My stepdad got a new grill out of the deal. But her other golden loves the roll.

I'm so glad my wife isn't into those ceramic trinkets!
As for the mutts, I tried cayanne pepper once with an airdale (sp?) mix we had in high school. He sniffed it and then went at it like it was cocaine. He loved it. Weird dog.

The Lab Manure Roll
OH!! Murf brought up the perfume. My male lab can clear a room and strip paint off the walls. That's some nasty stuff!!
I do try to watch what he gets into just because of that issue. But you can't watch them 24/7. SO I try to fan it towards my wife. I read somewhere it's good for a marriage if the spouses learn to share.
