There are a few reason why your Krissy is eating her poo...one of course is her diet...and the other could be a learned behavior...from what i understand the mother dog would eat the poo of the puppies in order to keep the den clean. If its the diet...you could change her diet gradually over time...or try the pineapple like every one who posted suggested. If its a learned behavior you might have a harder time. Every time she poos...watch her...and before she eats it...give her a correction and when she leaves the poo alone...treat her and give her praise. You may have to do this for a while until she gets it...But Yorkies are extremely intelligent so it may not take too much time until she gets....if all else fails...ask your vet.

Good Luck
