Why does my golden retriever eat my house plants, how do i stop her?

She is 11 months old.

Why does my golden retriever eat my house plants, how do i stop her?
I agree w/ the bitter apple spray. Also if possible when you see her eating on the plants, say her name, grab her muzzle and make her look you in the eye and tell her "NO" That technique has cured my golden (he's almost 3) of several bad habbits.
Reply:Try sprinkling a little powdered red pepper on the soil. It won't hurt the plants and the smell will deter your dog from eating them.
Reply:She is young, so it could be just a puppy thing, but just like when dogs eat grass because of an upset stomach, shes probably just not feeling good. My dogs have done that aswell. Maybe move the plants out of her reach for a couple months and then see how she does when you put them back. It's instinct for a sick dog to eat plants inorder to make themselves vomit. Hopefully its just because shes going through a puppy stage. Good luck!
Reply:get a bottle of bitter apple spray and spray the leaves. Most dogs hate the taste.
Reply:Many household plants can be toxic to dogs. Look this up on the net. If Bitter Apple doesn't stop the puppy, remove the plants.
Reply:My golden retriever never has ate my plants but golden retreivers are pretty smart. When mine is doing something that he isnt supposed to be doing, I get my rolled up peice of paper and tell him no and he backs off.
Reply:itusually means that the dog is sick, or dosn't feel good. when my goldenretriever has an upset stomach, she eats grass
