So recently whenever we give Daisy a treat she holds it in her mouth and whines until she finds a sutible place to "bury" it.  And by "bury" I mean finding a place to hide it in the house and using her nose to "cover" the treat.  It doesn't really bother us but she rubs her nose on the floor so hard and so often that she has rubbed her little nose raw and on more than one occation I have found blood on the carpet.

I know that this is a common thing among the breed but we don't want her rubbbing her nose raw.  Has anyone else had this problem and if so, how did you get them to stop?

Kaiser, in his younger days, when given a rawhide bone, wouldn't eat it, and would take it outside and bury it in the garden. He would dig them up later, when they were soft and mushy, and bring them in the house to eat. This behavior changed, when the 2nd dog came along. This burying became a game between my husband and Kaiser. While Kaiser was out burying the rawhide, my husband would go to the door, and watch him. When Kaiser discovered that he was being watched, he'd retrieve the rawhide, wander the yard, and only when he was sure he wasn't being watched would he rebury the bone. Kaiser always knew where he buryied the bone, as I neer ever found one when I tilled, or harvested the garden.

My younger boy, Gator, stashed his toys all over the house, and yard. His favorite is tennis balls, which he has stragetically places in the house and yard, just in case a game of fetch breaks out. He also places toys under the covers of our bed. One night, I found a tennis ball, a furry toy and a bone, all in the bed.
