Instead of removing all of the sticks, which will be a never-ending problem, you should try to train it out of her. I would think it's similar to how some dogs will destroy the furniture. You can get a spray at a pet store that will be repulsive, but not poisonous, to a dog. Leave some sticks around, but spray them with this dog training spray, and hopefully she will start associating the sticks with this repulsive smell and taste instead of the deliciousness she currently thinks of them. I am no training expert, so you should look into other ways to train this behavior out of her. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sammy3469 10,327 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Smarter than your average bear: Quote When state Fish and Wildlife agents recently found a black bear passed out on the lawn of Baker Lake Resort, there were some clues scattered nearby — dozens of empty cans of Rainier Beer. The bear apparently got into campers’ coolers and used his claws and teeth to puncture the cans. And not just any cans. “He drank the Rainier and wouldn’t drink the Busch beer,” said Lisa Broxson, bookkeeper at the campground and cabins resort east of Mount Baker. Fish and Wildlife enforcement Sgt. Bill Heinck said the bear did try one can of Busch, but ignored the rest. The beast then consumed about 36 cans of Rainier. A wildlife agent tried to chase the bear from the campground but the animal just climbed a tree to sleep it off for another four hours. Agents finally herded the bear away, but it returned the next morning. Agents then used a large, humane trap to capture it for relocation, baiting the trap with the usual: doughnuts, honey and, in this case, two open cans of Rainier. That did the trick. “This is a new one on me,” Heinck said. “I’ve known them to get into cans, but nothing like this. And it definitely had a preference.” http://www.nbcnews.com/id/5756809/ns/us_news-weird_news/t/bear-downs-beers-passes-out-campground/#.Wus30i7wbct 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

For the most part, the parents just hung back and let the kids do their thing. I didn't really spend a lot of time with my daughter except on the plane there and back, where she wore noise cancelling headphones. There was a lot of cool stuff to see. My daughter and about 2/3 of the group got to be on the floor of the House of Representatives (I didn't, because one of the teachers tried to go through security with a fitbit on and delayed the rest of us). Saw an original copy of the Magna Carta, got to tour Gettysburg with a very knowledgeable battlefield guide, and the Vietnam exhibit in the National Archives was fascinating. The term "death march" was used several times. According to the app on my daughter's phone, we walked just under 50 miles for the trip. I wouldn't go with a group of kids again, but it was a good experience overall. Snuck in a couple late night beers at the hotel bar.
