There are several reasons a dog eats feces. 1) They are not recieving adequate nutrition in their diet. Make sure the first ingredient in the dog food is a meat product. Otherwise it is full of fillers that will only result in increased defecation and inadaquate nutrient absorbtion. Dogs tend to eat the feces because it contains small amounts of left over nutrients. It's like their back-up system. 2) Dog use this as a hunting tool to mask their natural body odor from their prey. Usually they will not eat the entire amount of feces in this case but will leave a small portion and roll in the remaining. In this case you will have to keep an eye on the dog around the feces and correct him each time this takes place. Also, increased play time will also help.

My 12 weeks previous Yorkie pup does it too. i've got not got a kitty yet he eats his very own poo. What I do is watch him like a hawk and that i greater or less understand the time he will poop or I watch for his physique language. Then I grab him to the muddle field or many times 15-30 minutes earlier the time, I deliver him out...walk him until he poops and immediately grab the poo earlier he ought to scent it/consume it and throw away so he have not got the possibility to get to it :P specially situations, I fail to seize his sign, i will grab a newspaper and whilst he poos, lay the newspaper the place he's pooing, and fizz drops on the newspaper and throw it away. He don't get to smell it to no longer say consume it and it clean up the concern until i will think of of what to do next for him to offer up doing it.

It's a survival instinct so the only way to stop it is by cleaning it up prior to it being eaten.
