Why Your Dogs Eat Poop on Walks Plus Why They Get Into the Trash When You Leave Home

In this episode, I chat with Kristin Neal about why our dogs eat poop and what to do about it. We also talk about why some dogs will rip apart the trash as soon as their guardian goes out even if they’ve eaten. 

Kristin is a certified veterinary technician and force free dog trainer. She has extensive experience and training in dog and cat anaesthesia, surgical nursing, nutrition, behaviour and rescue work. 

She is an avid horse lover and trains her horse with force free methods, as well. Kristin has a strong belief in taking a holistic approach to animal care and feeding, and supports keeping animals in a biologically appropriate manner. Her unifying passion is improving quality of life for companion animals and their people.
