I have a problem with one of my dogs eating poop. It has become a serious problem. Like "anything but take her back to the shelter" serious. I have tried everything... all of the basic stuff. I cannot stop it. Please help me.

some dogs like to eat shit, specially beagles
Have you tried the treats that make their shit taste bad?

What brand of dry kibble are you feeding them?
Dogs can eat and digest shit with no problems
Just give her a glob of peanut butter when you get back if the smell is a concern
>dog starts going toward poop
>use leash to pull dog away
>say "no"
it's really not that difficult
>Work at a dog daycare three times a week

What is it like living life as a completely retarded person that thinks his or her environment is exactly the same as everyone elses?
How fucking beyknd numbers stupid are you?
Seriously.
How fucking stupid are you that cannot conceive of people having a large yard outside of their houses?

then don't let your dog in the yard, genius

How about
Wait just listen
How about
No seriously
How about only letting the shit eater out once you can poop scoop the yard?

>he doesn't appreciate the fine taste shit
Right back at ya
Op when you take your dog out, put it on a leash and have some treats with you. (Yes I saw that you have a yard, but if you want the dog to learn, then it has to beona leash so you can control it)
Everytime it goes for the shit, pull it back and say no. Slacken the leash, and do it again when it goes for the ahit. The minute the dig ignores the shit, give it a treat. Repeat this for the next couple weeks and don't let the dog outside alone.
Also, Iams is horrible food even it's saying (real ingredients)
Go to the dogfood advisor website and look up your brand of food and you'll see what I'm talking about.

but?
if it's a fenced yard, scoop up all the shit one day, and then just pick up what's dropped as it happens?
like yeah that's a bit of a pain, but if the situation is actually "ANYTHING BUT TAKE HER TO THE SHELTER."
then this is a cheap, simple fix to what is portrayed as a DIRE problem.
or you can try the coprophagia-deterrent supplements?
the other alternative is behavior modification, and personally, i'd rather just pick up the shit.
yeah it's not fool proof, but dogs sometimes eat shit, so it's not the end of the world if it happens occasionally.
OP here
I was really drunk and super pissed off when I made this thread, so I apologize to some of you.
I have three dogs. We live in a house with a huge back yard and the dogs have unlimited access to the yard via a dog door. I pick up their poop religiously. The one time that I miss picking up their poop she either runs through it or picks it up and it ends up in the house. She has zero concept of poop being a gross thing/waste product/whatever.

I feed my dog kibbles and bits. What's a good upgrade for him?
My dog has always eaten shit, but it's gotten worse recently. It used to be if you called her out she'd stop eating, but now she doubles down on it so she can eat as much as possible before you drag her inside. I'm not sure what the problem is, either.
She eats the same large breed food that our great danes eat, so I don't think it's for want of nutrition.
