don't let them do it. There is actually a disease associated with that practice. I am a pet sitter in the south Denver area, there is an explosion in the rabbit population, so "bunny beans" are everywhere. Some client's dogs came down with giardia like symptoms (diaharria, etc.) and had to be medicated. I tell them "no" firmly, if there is poop in the yard, it is harder to keep them away. If you find a poop before they get rained on or sprinklered, you can brush them in a dustpan with a small broom.

If the rabbits are domesticated, put something in their food that will keep the dogs away. Either that or keep them away from the area where the rabbit poop is.

They may have a deficiency of certain minerals. Rabbits eat some of their own poop (they can actually tell the difference between regular poop and this 'special' kind of poop) in order to stay healthy and get certain vitamins and minerals. You may want to take your dogs to the vet just to make sure everything is okay, and that their diet shouldn't be altered in any way.

Rabbit poop is very healthy for dogs because a rabbits digestive system is not as sophisicated so a lot of nutrients are left in the waste. Disbgusting, yes, but not bad for your dog.
There is an additiive you can put in a dog's food to stop them from eating their own poop but I don't know if you could give it to rabbits. Ask a vet to be sure.
Or clean up the rabbit poop.

DON"T KISS 'EM! seriously, dogs love to eat poop, dead things, you name it. keep them in the house or on a leash or fence off the rabbit area I guess. rabbit poop is better for your garden than your dogs....

Let them eat more rabbit poop. That's what they like.

All dogs eat poop. Who knows why, it's disgusting. They are not going to stop doing it so you might as well just let them. Just don't let them lick your face.

If the rabbits are yours (not "free-range" bunnies) try adding a little paprika or cayenne pepper to their food. It's what the vet told us to do when we got a new dog and it was eating our older dog's droppings.
