Puppy
Eating Their Own Feces

Yes,
poop eating is gross. And, there is no magic solution. Unfortunate as
it's disgusting. Most dogs outgrow it quickly. It's a simple case of "it
smells so I should put it in my mouth". It's not that a dog is dirty
or not intelligent. Dogs have approximately 1/10th of the taste buds we
do. Go outside with your puppy everytime for puddlies. Scoop as soon as
she poops. Then you're not giving her much of a chance to eat it. If she
tries to eat it say "AHHHHHHHH" or "NOOOOOOOOO". Picking
it up right away is the best solution. For when you're not there just
make sure she has plenty of other things to do and to play with then she'll
be less apt to eat poop. Have balls, kongs, etc. outside for her. She
should outgrow it soon.
