There are lots of ideas on this, but none that are particularly successful. The only truly successful one I know is to call the dog the second she has finished going, give her a treat for her coming right to you, and then hurry out and clean up. Doesn't stop her from wanting to do it, but it keeps her from the chance.

thanks!

the funny thing is,when im around she doesnt play with it,but if she knows am not looking,then she does it..

Accent flavor enhancer or Adolf's meat tenderizer is supposed to contain something that makes (hey...DIS-enhances!) the flavor of the poo change to something less palatable. Just sprinkle on dogs food before serving.

Accent helped with the cocker, but there is a trick. When you're done and you stop the accent? He's likely to nibble again. Surprise him one a week for a while after before you stop completely. Helps them learn it's not a safe bet.

We still go thru a short time when poo freezes. There is something particularly delectable about Poop-cycles! No method is fool proof. Notice I said "helped" not worked.

Sometimes a poo eater is just a poo eater.
