there are a few ways to break the habit. 1) pick up the poop right away. 2) put her on a leash to go outside to potty and when she goes to turn around and eat it give her a little tug and tell her no or leave it, then walk her away. 3) put something in her food to make the poop taste bad (deter, forbid). 4) put something on the poop to make it taste bad (meat tenderizor, hot sauce, anything that tastes bad).
Sound like a good idea thanks !
