Hakonechloa - poisonus to dogs?

Just wondering whether Hakonechloa is poisonus to dogs - my new GSD keeps eating it.  I know that, as a rule, dogs do know wha's good for them but this is the first one I've had that likes ornamental grasses!  I've now got to devise a way to keep him away from it.

    if he keeps eating it and it hasn't made him ill it's not poisonous. Grasses aren't as a rule.

    My cats and dogs always seem to prefer the ornamentals I cultivate for display rather thatn the couch grass I could do with help getting rid of. 

    They like hakonechloa, new shoots on miscanthus and so on.  Hasn't harmed them yet.

    Why do they always go for the good stuff?   image
