i know how to control it when i am at home, but is there anyway to control him from eating his poop when we are not home?

I've heard of giving them pineapple in their food, apparantly it makes their poop taste bad? Although... I don't see how it's ever GOOD. lol.

I've also heard pineapple does the trick. I know it's worked for a lot of other YT members. Spike used to be a poo eater. He would eat his and also Sugar's if I didn't get to the potty pad in time. I used meat tenderizer on their food (same enzyme as pineapple) and it worked like a charm. I only had to do it for a few weeks but he stopped after only a few days I think. I did catch him a few months later and started the meat tenderizer again. After the second round he's never done it again. It makes the poo taste bad so they get out of the habit. I did meat tenderizer instead of pineapple because I had to give it to Sugar as well and he has a super sensitive tummy. Good luck- it's gross but trust me, you aren't alone.

I had the same problem with one of my furbabies. I hate to be honest but when your not around there is nothing that will stop it. I tried everything from pineapple to cyanne pepper and nothing helped. My baby pasted away almost 2 years ago at the ripe old age of 15. Obviously it didn't hurt her all those years. I know it is sooooo gross I feel for you.

I have a precious 3 pound 7 month old girl that should be a princess. Instead she's a sh-- monger. I just chased her all over the yard with a giant (from my 19 pound yorkie) turd in her mouth.

Then when I finally caught her she wanted to give me kisses. YUCK!!!!!!

I bathed her and brushed her teeth, but now she's burping poopy burps.

I'm definitely going to try the pineapple. It's just too disgusting for words!

Also, here's a clip of Dog Whisperer working with a poop-eating dog.

well hopefully the pineapple will work if not ill resort to other methods...he just seems like if he does not get to eat it he thinks he has to bark...and bite things! hes been very contrary lately...

Take a look at this thread from the training forum. It talks about poop, poop and more poop plus all this ways that you can try to get your pupster to stop eating poop.

Pineapple, spinach, pumpkin, Deter, meat tenderizer you name it it's been talking about in this thread.

We had this problem and used the pineapple and not one time has it happened since. We fed him pineapple every day for 2 weeks. Thumbs up for pineapple here.

Jemma · 05-26-2009, 03:03 AM

I started trying the pineapple with Jemma.....she's not crazy about it...sniff.
I said, Jemma, eat it or I'll shove it down your throat. j/j. I did tell her if you can eat that poop you can eat anything.
