ok besties update on my roommate leaving pills around i have gotten rid of almost all her pills (put them in a large bottle) and got rid of most of their toxic chemicals (some like windex are bought regularly so i cant really get rid of them. i noticed they also have a pet friendly urine spray now instead of using windex and leaving the soaked tissues down on the doggy pad.) and i trained both dogs to avoid pills altogether.
i also told her when she was giving me her eork schedule "im worried about my dogs getting into stuff while im gone" cause she asked why i was offering the dogs pills and then i told her husband that theres always pills on the floor (cause hes in denial) and that im training them to only eat kibble or treats.
in a few days im gonna try walking around with her on a leash and pills on the floor to see if she will actually ignore them. ill only do it when im confident enough in her aversion.
and I'll try it with foods that might be poisonous, like cherries ,raisins, chocolate. i want to start doing the poison food aversion sooner than later.
then gonna try other things like chemicals, especially chemical soaked paper towels which my roommates leave down a lot. like, all the time.
#the only pills she had trouble ignoring were foods with food flavorings or scents#like cranberry pills and pills with fruit extracts#cause my roommate has lots of supplements#i even tried neosporin and silica packets and she ignored both of them#it makes me feel a bit more confident that as long as she has food available she wont be tempted to eat poisons#i looked around for antifreeze to see if it's a risk and i couldnt find any#but if i do them I'll train them to avoid that too#but really this 'avoid food not handed to you/not kibble biscuits or carrots esp not off the ground'rule will help avoid that entirely#esmeralda in particular is taking it up very quickly#i went and set some cough drops and vinegar tissues on the floor and she completely ignored them
