Do they have free roam?
My yard is excellent, we all have our own dogs and they wonder around doing as they wish without any issues, all friends and play (can be 9 dogs there sometimes at once) I have a lab and a young spaniel, they never go far and are really well behaved in general. They wonder around doing their own thing but stay within the yard, while I muck out, do haynets. I do keep a eye on them but its hard to keep my eyes on them constantly while doing 2 stables every morning.
They do sometimes eat the odd but of poop and left over feed but to different to the rest of the dogs.
My cocker was sick last night and puked up a nail (horse shoe nail). Thankfully he seems fine, hes eating, pooing and weeing fine and his usual nutty self. Going to keep a very close eye on him for a few days but its worried me a bit.
Other half has said they should be shut in the tack room at all times, because its to dangerous to have them roaming if I can't constantly watch them as they can eat anything. Seems a bit over the top to me.. specially while all their friends roam. I have no idea what would convince him to eat a nail. Hes never eaten anything apart from poo and food in his life.
To add - This is a very small yard, every owner has dogs and we all get on very well. They respect the horses and are all well behaved.
