The Lab Manure Roll
My last Lab was a "crap eater" In the winter, We (I) used to call them "Frozen Treats". The kids used to get grossed out when I would talk crap like that. I would call the dog in and then ask it if it was eating Shi% ??? My buddy would slink her head down low and crawl away!  . Also, when my kids would say, "Look dad, she is so adorable, shes liking my face she likes me so much! I would tell them, "Nope, she's just trying to get the crappy taste out of her mouth!
I dont think there is much you can do about the crap eating although I do plan to disipline heavily if this one strats that practice, maybe I can nip it in the bud.
I never really had a problem with the other Lab rolling in it though!

If you want to stop them from eating and object. Or to stop chewing on for example (insulation on pipes) spray it with hot sauce. Anytime they smell hot sauce again they will leave it alone.

, Right!!!! Or just maybe they develope a "taste" for the hot sauce! If I sprayed hot sauce on my furniture I would be the one "out of the house" .
Its funny how our dogs can destroy something in the house and its OK but god forbid I acidently drop some usless glass trinket! WOW

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.

I'd be concerned about using hot sauce near my dogs too...
They are such avid hunters that anything that moves is prey, house flies are a particular delicacy. Problem is, 2 hours later they can clear a good-sized room.
We jokingly (?) refer to it as "dropping coyote bait"...
I dropped a Brat off the BBQ one sunny day last summer, the little fella had it before I even knew it was gone.
He did *not* sleep in our bed that night, in fact he didn't even sleep in our room!!!
Best of luck.

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.

Iowafun,
I know at your other post you said you were moving to Mich. Just realized you did not say your wife was moving. Had not thought on that until you just posted your "sharing".

I had two spitz and the only thing they hunted was the insulation on my water pipes. I poured the tabasco sauce in their mouths and watched them drag their lips through the grass. Then I put it on all the pipes, from then on whatever i put the sauce on they stayed cleared of. As for the flatulence they were well versed in that before the sauce. I also belive in sharing, the dogs will also take the blame for any airbombs that maybe dropped by the wife. I did not know she would do that until the dogs died. I will save the story of why I used the tabasco sauce for a later time.

Come to think of it maybe I don't want the dog to clean up his act. The other day the smell was so bad my son in the next room was complaining. It wasn't the smell that was so bad in the my room, but the burning of the eyes was terrible. Naturally the dog was blamed and he bought it, for a time......
