Handling the Aftermath: How to Manage a Dog That Eats Cash. Should we Punish Him?…

When a dog like Luke consumes something like $121, it’s important to handle the situation with a focus on prevention and training rather than punishment. Here are some steps to consider:

  1. Secure Food and Items: Make sure to keep valuable or dangerous items, including money, out of reach. This helps prevent similar incidents in the future.
  2. Training: Reinforce basic commands like “leave it” and “no” to manage behavior. Positive reinforcement works best to encourage good habits.
  3. Supervision: Watch Luke closely, especially when he’s in areas where he might find something he shouldn’t eat. Redirect his attention to appropriate toys or activities.
  4. Consult a Vet: If you’re concerned about any potential health issues from swallowing foreign objects, consult a veterinarian to ensure Luke is okay.
  5. Behavioral Training: Consider professional training if Luke’s chewing on inappropriate items is a recurring issue.

Focusing on prevention and training will help Luke learn what’s acceptable and keep both him and your belongings safe.
