Eventually she will begin to anticipate that you are going to intervene and will catch herself before she eats it if she doesn't have ready access to it for too long. And after while, once more socialization has taken place, most dogs lose interest in poo-eating just from our OT reactions to them when we find they have eaten it!!! Most are smart enough to associate the two after a while. But it is fairly common for dogs to eat poo and in the wild dogs will eat any poo they can find to fill them up or meet any nutritional needs they may be lacking. Some say dogs in the wild ate/eat poo for other reasons related to pack dynamics or to save or remove the scent or their or other packs from a territory. But if the pineapple doesn't upset your dog's GI tract, try it too.

Brilliant idea... thanks
