How to stop a Poop Eater!

[Debi and Monty Moose]

I am looking for a natural solution to deter my Doodle from eating poop.  I go out daily and clean up behind him and his Golden sister, but it seems he still gets ahold of it.  I used to have a Golden male that would eat frozen poop...but Monty is not that particular.  Yuk!  

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

There are a few people here whose dogs have done this. Unfortunately, the only solution is to be out there with them at the time they poop, every time, to stop Monty from getting it and then remove it immediately. Correct him verbally every time he goes for it. Some dogs do grow out of this. 

I know that Doris's Flash had this habit, and she tried all the food additives, enzymes, pineapple, MSG, Forbid, etc without success.

You can buy a product  at the pet store to put in their food to make their stools taste bad ,sometimes it works,  just depends on the dog  and how determined he is to get at it.

They say meat tenderizer also works . Sprinkle it on their food first. It must have a nasty taste after digested.

That's MSG. Also the main ingredient in "Forbid". Has not worked for the people I know. :(

Try giving him a half a banana in the morning and another half at night. It worked with Sprocket

Why would 1/2 banana in the AM and PM change a doodle's desire for poop?

[Shawn,Dana, Guinness and Barney]

Not really sure it was recommended by our vet there are supposedly certain minerals in the banana that keep him satisfied instead of what he is eating in the poop. My understanding is that a dog smells about 10000 more individual scents than we do. So when we are smelling poop, they are smelling every individual component of the poop. One of this being potassium etc. All I really know for sure is it works.
