How to stop my puppy from eating POOP!?

One big reason why dogs eat there own poop is because they eat their food to quickly. This then does not give the food enough time to settle and digest before exiting the dog. In other words whats coming out still smells and tastes as it does going in, also since it is not probably digested he is loosing all the nutrients.

There are special food bowls designed to slow down a dogs eating. If not put large rock in the food bowl (one a dog cant swallow) to help slow him down.

If slowing down his eating still isn't curing the problem your vet probably has a product called Forbid. This causes their fecal material to taste very bitter.

pineapple. just give small amount at each meal for a while.

it changes something and the dog does no longer like the taste.

it is the most simple effective thing..and the cheapest.

just go buy a can .

but then you do need to see if he is getting the right nutrition from his food. this may be the reason he eats poo in the first place.

Well, most dogs eat feces for a few reasons:

1) You feed a low quality food like Pedigree/Purina/Alpo, etc which causes an extreme lack of nutrients in the dogs digestive system.

2) He watched his mother cleaning her whelping box when he was a puppy, and its a learned behavior. This usually occurs when bad breeders don't keep a clean environment for puppies.

To stop your dog from eating his OWN feces, feed him a higher quality food such as Canidae, Nutro, Wellness, or Blue Buffalo. After each meal, feed him ONE small triangle of pineapple- it makes his feces taste and smell unappealing.

To stop your dog from eating other dogs' feces is a whole other story. When you walk past poo and he sees and IGNORES it, give a treat and lavish praise. Invest in an air-blaster (like those used to clean dust out of crevices of keyboards and such- you can find them at any supermarket). When he goes to eat the poo, spray it next to his face- it'll startle him and eventually he'll associate eating feces with a blast of air, and being startled.

I tried everything and nothing worked except training and watching my pup constantly. They get over eating it after a few months. Poop can have Parvo, parasites and bacterias if he is eating other dog poop.

Get to the poop before he does and clean it up. Sometimes I think it is animal instinct . Don't give him to much room in the crate. Make sure you are taking him out.

this is a really common problem,especially amongst puppies.you might also find that he tries to eat foreign items such as food off the floor,or even his own vomit.its kinda normal,like their natural instinct.theres probably pills and things to help,but what i found to work the best was good old fashioned strictness..teaching him not to do it.i.e,when he goes to do it,stop him from doing it with a simple 'NO',or if necessary,using a clicker,or one of those collars that buzz or shock the dog or whatever.(im not a fan of those electrical collar things,but idk..whatever you want) he will probably grow out of it,all of my dogs did.

buy pills at a pet store, i think called Deter. It makes the poop distasteful to the pet.

switch foods slowly he is not digesting this one properly and give him a piece of pineapple with every meal it makes the poop taste b itter I have ashitzu who does this

you can go to any petstore, they have something called deter. they are little pills that you give your dogs.

You can also feed him fresh pineapple
