What's wrong with my pup?
He's a 5 month old patterdale, he's fed 3 times a day and is wormed regularly, but will eat ANYTHING. I've just caught him in the garden where he's found a part of the garden where ther is no grass and he's eating the mud underneath. When we take him out for walks he's constantly searching for something to eat and we really have to watch him because he likes any sort of poop. He once ate loads of freshly laid (sorry TMI) cat poo and then promptly threw up everywhere. He never stops begging and sniffing around for food. It's really starting to annoy us now. I'm quite sure he eats our other dog's poo, and will happily sit in the garden all day eating grass and leaves.
Also, he's mostly house trained now but still does several poops and wees during the night. Shouldn't he be able to hold it now, or is he just being naughty? How do we get around this without punishing him? We've had him since he was 8 weeks and started his training straight away, but he doesn't seem to be getting anywhere.
Please please help...we've got a baby on the way and I can't see how we're going to cope with his behaviour as well as a newborn...
