I feel your pain , our little boy just turned 2 and if left to his own devices, he will indulge everytime.

We tried Pineapple and it didn't work. I have asked the vet, and she explained that although it is a disgusting habit, it's natural. Wolves and dogs in the wild consume their excrement so that their scent is not left behind (no pun intended). She said he maygrow out of it one day, maybe not. She suggested pouring tobasco sauce over it and let him have a taste. She feels if he tastes it a few times and thinks it now tastes awful, he will lose his interest to consume it.

Problem with that is we need to pour it on right away and hope that the smell won't deter him from tasting it.
