Ive tried to reward it with food for not eating it, Ive sat there shouting at it, I know its a natural thing for a pup to do. I just want it to stop.

What your puppy is doing is called Coprophagia.
This can be solved pretty easily. You can buy a product at most pet stores called Deter. You feed this product to your puppy and it will make his poo taste incredibly horrible, this usually fixes things right up especially as how young he is.
Good Luck!!

pups often do this when they have been yelled at or punished for pooing in the house. They are terrified of the punishment so try to hide the evidence. Pick up as soon as the pup toilets.
I see the usual animal abusers telling you to burn the pups mouth with hot sauces etc. This will not work and will leave you open to a massive vet bill and prosecution for cruelty by the RSPCA and if someone like me saw you doing it, you would have a broken nose before I reported you to the RSPCA.
If you are able to watch the pup do it, you are there to pick the turd up as soon as he goes. You shouldn't leave dog turds about in any case.
If the silly person who told you to sprinkle meat tenderiser on it had any brains they would realise that this will damage it's kidneys and besides, if you are able to go and sprinkle stuff on the turd, you would be better off just picking the turd up. Some people are so thick!

This is natural behaviour. Mother dogs chew up food and regurgitate it for the puppies. This food apparantely tastes very like poo. This is why young dogs tend to eat their poo, to feel closer to their mother. Pick up the poo as soon as the pup deposits it to avoid it eating poo.

It's a natural thing for all dogs to do, it just looks like food to them. Sprinkle your dogs food with a little meat tenderizer. This should get the pup to stop.

this is a very common thing. have you dewormed him yet? he is at the age where he needs to be dewormed. when dogs/puppies eat their poo its because their body has a deficiency. you could also check with your vet.
also, i suggest picking up his poop right away so he doesnt have any to eat

this may sound nasty put some tobasco sause on it before he starts to and it will burn his mouth i think after a few doses of that he will stop as he will have a bad experence every time he does eat it hopfully it will stop him after a while

Ask your vet for this stuff that you can sprinkle on his poo, its supposed to make it taste really bad, worse than it did before anyway.
