I have a 5 month old male yorkie Love him crazy! He was also doing the poop eating, the trick that has worked, like others' have said is pick up right away... I also always discouraged him said, No! Picked him up and away from the poop. When he was about 3 months, I also tried to pick up the poop when he was munching on his treat... Now that he is older, he does not seem as interested, I think he also understands that I do not want him eating it .... To this day I close the screen door so he is not in my way or trying to fight me for the poop. Once I dispose I walk in a praise him. Yorkies are the best ... they are stubborn and hard to train, but with A LOT of patience they turn out to be low maintenance dogs, that just want to cuddle and play. I adore my Rocco! Despite all the poop chasing he initially put me through ... he is the best!
