| It is a dog thing. As long as your pup is not constantly hungry, it is behavioral. Dogs eat their poop and other dogs' poop all the time. This is no different. I'd just keep one of them with you at all times and check before rotating. lol

| There are several members here who have struggled with their yorkie loving poo. I'm not sure why they do that to be honest. I know you can feed your dog a little pineapple to keep them from eating their poo, but not sure it would help on eating other poo (?) Might just need to gate the puppy off from where your little one is potty training for now.

If it ate it's own poo, this is at times behavior that puppies do. You can feed them pineapple to try and help with that issue.

| I've heard that it comes from seeing their Birth Mom's clean up after them while still with their littermates. Moms do it to keep the area clean, puppies do it bc they saw mom do it, lol. But yorkies will also try to eat anything that has any kind of human smell on it, from underwear to Q-tips!

Senior Yorkie Talker | My toy poodle always eat the kitten's poo from the litter tray. I'm quite pissed because I can never catch him in action. Weird thing was he only eat kitten's one. Once the kitten grown became adult, he don't eat anymore

| Practically every dog I've had at one time or another went through this phase and then out again with a little discouragement. I would keep the poo picked up immediately, tell them "no" if they started toward it before I could get there and redirect them to a treat or toy. Eventually mine all moved on and lost interest once they'd tried it.
