How to make puppy stop eating poop?

Clean up the poop after he goes....he can't eat it if it's not there

There is some pills you can get that are supposed to make the poop smell bad to them. Not sure why it doesn't already, but them I'm not a dog.

As I recall they were kind of expensive, but we tried them with our dog when she was a puppy. For us, it didn't help, she started eating the poop again when we ran out of pills. She's almost 6 years old and she ate her poop just recently?

The best advise is to pick up the poop as soon as the puppy drops it.

I have a new puppy, he is not interested in a poopy diet. Drops it, kicks some grass on it and moves on.

Curious, is your puppy a female? I wonder if it's just female dogs that do that? Mothers dogs eat their puppy's feces naturally, I wonder if all female dogs have a taste for it?

It depends on the age of the puppy to how you can scold it.Not just puppies eat cat poop but grown dogs do to.Always keep your litter box clean.You must let it no some way that its a bad thing to do.Tell it no or bad with a loud voice.Never hit it.I have cats and dogs and I had to train them to stay out of the litter box.It need to understand you don't like that and sometimes it can hurt there feelings which is a good thing.Clean the box daily and eventually there won't be anything there for it to eat.And it will stop.

I have a 12 week old Shiba. I needed to find out why he takes so long to poop sometimes...up to 5 hours after eating. I found out he is waiting for the right time when I leave the room to quickly poop and eat. Nothing has worked as far as the "deter" and other suggested remedies. I think he just wants more food. He doesn't have giardia or worms. I justs will watch him constantly since I work at home.

My puppy did the same thing and the vet told me not to give her really tasty treats. Don't give your puppy wet dog food either. This is really gross but if they eat really tasty food they will eat their poop because they will think it is good a second time.

Try "Deter Dog Coprophagia Treament". You can purchase it for around $10 for 120 tablets at 1800petmeds.com. It is a pill you give the dog each day to make their feces unappetizing to them. Keep in mind that if you have more than one dog or if your dog is around other dogs' feces, all the dogs have to be given the pills to make all of the poop taste/smell bad! Hope this helps...

Try adding Meat Tenderizer to his food, just a little sprinkle and he will stop eating his poop....I did this with mine and it worked....the meat tenderizer tends to give it a bad odor when he poops and will steer him away from it.

They sell this stuff you add to the food that makes them not want to eat the poop.

dogs eat poop because it is a new tastes introduce it to new flavors he should stop

Pull him away from it and give him something else to do. To a dog it still smells like food since thats what it WAS...so he eats it.
