I just saw an episode of the dog whisperer about this very thing. He gave the dog pieces of fresh banana. They eat their poop when they are very low on minerals in their diet. He put the poop in a closed in area where the dog could smell it then redirected its attention to the banana and gave it pieces as a reward. Caesar also changed the dogs regular diet. No longer a problem.
I don't think a tablespoon of pumpkin a day would hurt your puppy but I don't have experience with this as Buddybear wouldn't eat it when he was sick. |
