My dog is tearing up the lawn and eating slugs. Is this normal?

Question

My Mini Schnauzer, has been tearing up my lawn and eat grass, and quite likely some slug-like critters as well. Would this be a sign of a problem, and how can I stop him from tearing up the grass? Pet's info: Dog | Miniature Schnauzer | Male | unneutered | 2 years and 9 months old | 12.5 lbs

If your dog is tearing up the grass to try and get at vermin (or slugs), treating your lawn to remove the vermin and slugs will likely solve the issue. Taking Goku out on leashed potty walks and exercising him elsewhere can also help prevent him from focusing on the grass, as well as monitoring and redirecting his behavior when you see him do it.
