I feel your pain...Hannah used to eat her poop. We didn't know that she was doing it at first we just thought she didn't poop that much and then we saw her eating it...yuck! I started watching her like a hawk and when she would poop I would pick it up quick and flush it, sometimes she would turn around and grab it before I could get to it and take off running with it to her taxi-thats where she takes everything. So I started using forbid. The package states to spinkle 1/4 of the envelope on her food so I did that, but she doesn't eat much of her food so she wasn't getting the right amount, so I started putting it in cottage cheese and after about a week of that she didn't EAT her poop anymore but she still carries it off and hides it. In her kennel that she sleeps in at night I have her bed in the back raised off the floor and I have a potty pad in front and if she poops she will cry and cry until I get up and remove the poop. And if I am gone during the day and she poops, she will bury it under her blankets in her taxi. And if I am in the other room I always know she has pooped because she will growl and bark at it and jump around lke she is going to attack it-and she finally does...lol. Maybe she just hates it and don't want it in her house, because if she poops outside she never touches it. I think that the potty pads has alot to do with the problem. Maybe potty pads are a bad idea. Since I have put up a privacy fence in the back yard I am going to try to house break her. I wish you luck.
