In my case, I do believe it's a behavioral issue.
Like I said earlier, you need to keep adjusting the amount of pineapple to get to a level that will work. How many pieces were you feeding a day? How long did you continue to feed?

There was a mill rescue that it even worked for but it did take time and effort. She would spin in a circle and eat her poop before it even touched the ground. It grossed her foster mom out so much that she was in tears. So I walked her through several weeks of pineapple adjustments and we watched her as she slowly stopped eating poop. At first she would pick it up and hold it in her mouth. Then she started to hide it in her doggy bed. Her poop eating was behavioral as well. But she is no longer eating her poop! It did take about 6 weeks or so before she totally stopped but it did work Please don't write it off as something that you cannot stop because it does not matter the cause. Hardcore poop eaters have been cured! Puppymill dogs are notorious poop eater and she was totally cured
