| How old is your yorkie. I know yorkie puppies eat their pooh but eventually they grow out of it. Grosses me out! |

| I have the same problem with Ariel. She's 7 months old now, and she still does it occasionally. Solid Gold worked a bit for us. We also try to clean up her poop ASAP so she doesn't get the urge to eat it. |

| Tucker did it. I gave him anything to make him stop. But I would let him go over to it and when he would start to chomp down, I would loudly clap my hands and say no in a firm voice and then I would promtly clean it up. He no longer eats it. |

| It's much more common than you think in puppies. There are several theories on why. But there is a product you can get at the petstore called Deter which you sprinkle on their food to stop the behavior. We used it on our older dog when he was a pup and it worked immediately. Makes puppy kisses much nicer!
