Let me start off by saying i wish i was asking questions about something else. on to the questions

Question one is about our younger puppy, 4 month old female. she eats her own poop and it really is starting to bother me and my wife. It has been going on about a month and when it first started i searched on here to see what i can do about it. I came across the pineapple chunk method and started right away. at first just 1 chunk at each feeding 3x per day, now i give her 4 a day and i have seen no change in her behavior at all. I keep calm when she goes and praise her for going on the pad and when she is almost done i take about 4-5 cheerios and slide them across the floor on the other side of the kitchen while i clean up. What else can i do?

Question 2 is about our older 10 month old male, this is a little less involved, the past 2 days it seems like he is having a little trouble going, almost like he is struggling a little and seems a bit uncomfortable. What can i do to help him?

Thanks in advanced
