Please help me! I honestly don't know what to do anymore. My puppy won't stop eating his poop. He's been doing this for over a month now. I've tried feeding him pineapple, but that doesn't work. I'm giving him the same pet food that his breeder uses (Eukanuba dry kibble), and I tried pulling him away and cleaning his poop before he can get to it.

My puppy is indoor trained so sometimes when he poops, he'll bring it inside his crate and continue eating it there. I think he does this because I scolded him before for eating his poop. He gets scared that I'll scold him again, so he brings it inside his crate where I won't see him. That's what I'm thinking.

Have any of you had this problem? Please send me your advice. I don't want this to become a nasty habit as he gets older.

THANK YOU!
