Phew! My Vacuum Cleaner Dog, or How to Teach Your Dog Not to Pick Up Food on the Street

Probably, there is not a single dog owner who can boast that his pet never picks up anything edible from the ground. Owners sift through dog food and muzzle models, but the problem does not go away — when left unattended, their beloved pet is always eager to find a fragrant piece and enjoy it, and some dogs go for a walk seemingly just for this purpose.
