I recall an incident a few years back in which a man and his dog were murdered.
The target was the man but to get quietly and safely to him the murderers had to eliminate his GSD, they killed the dog with poisoned meat and then proceeded to the mans bedroom where they murdered him in front of his wife and new born baby. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
I hate to mention something of this nature on the forum and I apologize in advance for causing any readers distress, but my question I feel is a valid one
How do you train your dog not to eat from strangers <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
Uncle Lou (Lou Castle) has touched on this topic before, about teaching food refusal using an E collar. I've got the link around here somewhere, let me see if I can find it. If not, I'm sure someone else, possibly even Lou, will post it.
Ed's article on mink farmers touches on this as well. You can set meat up to a battery and the dog will learn to leave stuff alone. Kinda like peeing on the electric fence, most boys only fall for that one once <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
a friend of mine suggested mixing some hamburger meat with cayenne, tabasco, jalapeno, etc.
don't give water that morning. let the dog find the meat. give him a little while to feel it before giving water.
he said sometimes you have to do it twice.
i haven't had the heart to try it, though. i would go with an ecollar.
A dog teaches a boy fidelity, perseverance, and to turn around three times before lying down.

I would not count on the pepper method to work. Remember our 4 legged friends are scent oriented. Dog burns mouth on something that smells like pepper, dog aviods food that smells like pepper, not food in general.
In French Ring the food refusal exercise is trained by tossing rocks before the downed dog. The dog is trained to leave anything that is tossed before him wheather it's rocks or chunks of meat.
If the dog only gets his food from a bowl and from one person, it is easier to train. If you are in the habit of tossing bones out the back door to your dog, he'll take it where ever it comes from.
I dont know if the pepper trick will work. But if the dog eats it dont give him water this only spreads some of the capsium (the hot stuff) around there mouth a bit. Milk hits the same recepters in the mouth as the capsium. But I dont know if milk is healthy for dogs or not. But Im sure you guys could let me know on that.
If you know everything you cant possibly learn something new.
