From what I've read there are several reasons for the poop eating behavior to occur, and it doesn't really sound like anyone knows a way to stop it in all dogs. I would be interested to know if someone has success with the bananas because on his show he was also using a technique of positive reinforcement, and if the potassium theory held true, he would not have needed to use the positive reinforcement. So, this puzzles me.
