Welcome to YT.
Firstly, the easy part is...do not give her free roam of your home, keep her in the room where her pee / poo pads are, block her in, unfortunately you will have to confine her brother with her because she needs his comfort. I would not worry about her need to be close to him, that is her BFF, do not discourage that closeness.

Secondly, if she was taken from her mother and litter mate before 12 or 13 weeks old could be a cause of her anxiety, and her need for extra attention.

Some members have put frozen unsweetened pineapple in their dogs food, or just fed them it, and was successful, however, that does not work for every dog. It is supposed to give the feces an unpleasant taste and stops dogs from eating their feces, you would also have to feed your little boy the pineapple.

I have also read a few tablespoons of canned pumpkin (not the type that is used to make pumpkin pie) given to your dog, or mix it with dog food every day. Pumpkin tastes good to dogs, but it makes their feces smell terrible.

Eating feces can also be a sign she is lacking some nutrients in her food.

I have a rescue dog he was 2 1/2 years old, he has eaten his feces from the day I rescued him, he makes outdoors so I can stop him 99% of the time. I tried the frozen pineapple for two weeks, that did not work for him. I believe now it's just a habit.

I would take her to the vet with the food she is now eating to rule out, it may just be the food and all you would have to do is just change to another food.

I am sure others will chime in with advice and suggestions.

Good luck.
