No one wants anything to do with him after this<shudder>!!!
My question is the Deter says one tablet a day for every 10 lbs. Tucker is between 2-3 lbs. Should I just give him half a tablet or is it safe enough to give the whole thing? I guess after treatment, I need to let him taste his poop to know that it tastes bad, huh?<big shudder>!!
We use a pen with a pee pad/litter box at one end and his bed and toys at the other end. Most of the time I am around to quickly remove poop, but every once in a while he does it when I'm not around to remove it in time. He bring the poop out of his box and bring it to his bed to play with/nibble. I guess crate training is an option, but other than this issue, the play pen is working so well!!
I really need this discusting habit to stop.

It's the grossest thing ever! Me and my boyfriend call Banks a sh*teater...yuck! Oddly enough, he doesn't seem very interested in his own poop (though we're training him to go outside and he doesn't get much time to 'examine' it) but he IS very interesting in eating the poop of other dogs...even more disgusting!! Someone told me that it's because there are nutirients in dog poo and the dogs can tell?! I think it might be a load of crap, but thought I'd pass along the info anyway.
