There is a lot of speculation about why some dogs eat feces, none really proven though, as well as lots of "recipes" to prevent such disgussting behavior.

I agree with Liz, for the most part I beleive is a nutritional deficiency (quality of the food), lack of vitamins and minerals (in food content), and lack of digestive enzymes (that's why the dog eats "pre-digested" food).

Premium dog food with Prozyme should help a lot, and also when you see your dog eating feces scream out loud: "PHUE!!" or "NO!!". It works well.
