Guess the title says it all! He's driving me NUTS. He's our new dog, 11 months old. And it's a multiple time a day hassle. He grabs mouthfuls and runs, continuously! Is there something I can sprinkle over it to keep him out of it? He's trashing our landscape!
Nothing works. He's still a puppy. And big dogs can be puppies for at least 2 years! My daughter's golden retirevers eat mulch, rocks, and rip out chunks of sod! That's just life with dogs!
Do you have to have mulch? lol
Cayenne pepper.
Or use a different mulch.

we have the ball for our dog and it works well, just make sure the ball and the bowl sizes work correctly.
oh my!!! i'm going nuts!! I thought the title said how to keep him from eating your LUNCH!!! OH MY!!!
Our puppy, now a little over a year old, ate the mulch too...kinda like a kid - if you make a stink over it - he will continue doing it...
I don't know if there's anything you can sprinkle over it...we just ignored him and when he stopped getting attention from it - he lost interest.
can you keep the water hose handy :)
Can you somehow startle him when he goes at it? Like throw a Coke can filled with some pennies his way?
As someone else said, sprinkle the mulch with cayenne pepper... it does a great job of keeping animals out of the gardens!
Is he getting enough exercise? Does he have toys with which to play?
I think if you put some straight ammonia in a spray bottle and spray the mulch it will keep him away......The cayenne pepper sounds good too.
Have your tried hot pepper?
