My Tia did this ... she has the worst poopey breath ever! But she eventually stopped as she got older. In August she will be 1 year old.

We had that problem with another dog and a breeder trainer of bigger dogs gave up this bit of advise. Increase the protein of the dog food they are eating. So we found with much searching(3 foods) a food that was high enough that she didnt eat it anymore. She was horrible.
A friend has tried it on her dog and it took 4 food before she found on that the dog wouldn't recyle.
They only time that we have had this problem with Brody is when he ate something he shouldn't have, like dropped people food or a crayon. That is the only time I see him attempting to eat it. We have him on puppy food right now and they are all pretty much the same levels of protein. When he get older if we have a problem I will be trying it on him.

What was the food that you found that finally worked?

Edie never ate her own poop but when she was a baby she LOVE goose poop!!

I know this because we visited someone who had canada geese in her yard. Who said these little ones aren't discriminating???

Both of my yorkies did this when they were younger but quit as they got older.

My new baby yorkie is eating his poo,

It's grose. I doesn't even want him to kiss me, scared he's been eating it again!! If I'm not there to take it as soon as he's finished, he's eating it !!

I've been trying him with for-bid ,for the last 6 days, but it doesn't seem to be working, if anyone have any ideas please HELP

I have the same problem. Coco was 1 year in March and she still does this. It's just like you said. If I'm there she goes to her crate to wait for me to clean it up, but if i'm not home it becomes a snack and she gets it everywhere. She even brings it in her crate to eat!!! Forbid didn't work for me. I also tried the pineapples. That didn't help either. I had the best luck with tabasco sauce. I would put it on the poop and she HATED the smell. Only problem is you had to catch her going. My problem is when I'm not home. Hope she grows out of it!!!!!

Thanks for the insight, I'll try the tabasco sauce

, I think, the next time Benji Poops, & see if that'll help.

He's only 11 weeks old, so I sure hope he doesn't keep it up.

Thanks Benji's Mom

Tucker is doing this too. It is so disgusting. I am trying the pills and the pineapple but neither seem to be working. He is 8 months old now. He is pad trained so I always try to pick it up as soon as I have noticed it but when I am gone I am pretty sure he is eating it.
