In general, dogs eat feces because they are lacking in digestive enzymes, something which feces are chock full of.

Digestive enzymes can be added to the dogs food - one of the more popular brands is Prozyme, available from Drs. Foster & Smith (http://www.drsfostersmith.com item #8Q-2656). Papaien is another good digestive enzyme, you can find that at a local health food store, or you can simply add a tablespoon of chopped pineapple to the dogs food. Lew Olsen carries a good digestive enzyme on her pages at http://www.b-naturals.com as well.
