Wellness Puppy is a GREAT food, who told you it was bad? Franklin had a problem with poop-eating too. He still does it every now and then if I don't catch him quickly enough. Try also putting meat-tenderizer in his food. Honestly, it's just a habit that I think you'll just have to break. I'm not sure that there is a cure. Franklin potties outside now so I just pick it up after he goes. Maybe you could leave the poop there and then when she goes to sniff it, correct her? It'd be like teaching leave it with other things, just with poop! Good luck!
