Hi everyone! My yorkie puppy Cooper is 14 weeks old and I've noticed for the past 2 weeks now, he's been eating his feces when I'm not around. How do I know this?----there are small pieces of it on the ground by his pee-pee pad or on the floor next to the pee-pee pad. I actually have this bitter spray that I bought from Petsmart and sprayed that on and left it there right now so we'll see what happens...but goodness! It's getting very frusterating.

I took him to the vet a couple of weeks ago and he's very healthy so there aren't any signs of parasites or any crazy cooties that may cause him to eat it. (Yes, I've been googling for answers. LOL!) I always, always, ALWAYS pick up his poop when he's done with his business so that he doesn't get a chance to eat it or sniff it...but when he does try and sniff it, I tell him "NO" or do the cesar milan "SHHHH" noise and he freaks out and backs off. I do go to school and work but have people around to check on him....but still---what can I do to stop him from eating his feces when I'm not home?
