The book suggest that you keep repeating all the commands everyday and do lots of "down" commands. Unfortunately there is no specific time length for the adolescence period since it varied by each dog and can last up to 2 years old  .
As for poop eating, I asked my vet one time and he suggest a powder called "For-Bid". I haven't tried them since my puppy only becomes a poo eater randomly (no pattern, but about once a month). This powder only works for his own poop, but he says it might make him get a bad impression for other poops as well.
good luck |
Wow! He could act like this for 2 years! Yikes!
Good to know! Thanks!
