    There are three main reasons for coprophagia in dogs (a fancy term for eating poop - their own, other dogs, cats or any other animal!).
    - Medical
    - Behavioral
    - Nutritional
    After discussing these we'll run through how to stop your dog eating poop through the use of home remedies, training and several other effective strategies.

    I taught my dog to stop eating poop with one good sprinkle of cayenne pepper on his poop. He found out real quick that he doesn't like spicey poop snacks. He won't even go near it anymore. Oh and I took him to the vet and he is 100% healthy. Not a thing wrong with him. He just wanted to eat nasty poop. Well not anymore, thanks to Hot poop Delite!

    Teaching my dog 3 commands: leave it, drop it, let go were the most beneficial commands I've ever taught him. When I'm on a walk with him he even avoids stepping into waste (because for him leave is leave, avoid, be as far as possible, so he started treating waste as radioactive). Recently he left some suspicious bone lying next to trash can when I said leave it (I hope it wasnt human) so it can be a life saver esp when it comes to poisoned food. And remember that for your dogs it's instinct they struggle with (it's been taking a while for my dog to avoid eating waste when he's alone without me so he sometimes mistakenly touches poop or digs and forgets himself - it frozen probably smells like food - and he then comes for cleaning (so he knows he did something wrong), but sometimes comes to me with clean nose and waits for being rewarded waving tail and touching me with muzzle). Recently I thought I would also smell his nose sniffing loudly (actually if he's alone he's wearing muzzle but I want to move away from that - since it's not a solution to the core problem) and either smile and cheer or silently give him a "soft unhappy mother growl" - but still be nice to him - depending on the situation - it somehow works). After all, they know what sniff means better than us, humans, so he started realizing that, at least I believe, because I see less waste on his nose recently. Muzzle is also good to have at night when neither you or your dog know what they're touching. Also, don't overreact, from time to time just observe if he leaves the waste and say nothing until of course not too late heh (but rewarding after that is very very good, I'd say more precious than rewarding for doing that after command because you're rewarding for unspoken thus reinforcing the good way of thinking). I even reward for picking but dropping on command (that's rewarding for progress and understanding). And yes, clean after your dog. Suppose he needs to do it 2 a day. it's 60 waste units a month. So do it even for yourself so you don't walk on a minefield. Neutralize watery waste at all cost because it's full of worm eggs active for years! Either dig it out and burn it or use toilet cleaner. The earth will be poisoned for shorter time if you use biodegradable cleaners (weeks, small area) than leave the infected waste (years, large area - reinfecting).

    The “just clean it up” advice doesn’t really help for animals who are “just being helpful.” I found my doggy started eating poop when I began having trouble opening the poop bags. I have ALWAYS followed behind him and picked up the poo immediately. But a lot of times he poos and turns around to eat it right away before I can even get it. It’s especially hard when he poos in fall leaves and I can’t find it. The best way to find it is often to follow his nose. 🤦🏻‍♀️

  • @justvibinginouterdarkness
    @justvibinginouterdarkness ปีที่แล้ว

    My new golden pup, 3 mo old, did this as soon as she came home. The only thing that stops her from eating it is putting on hot sauce AFTER she poops- not super useful of course. Other than having her leashed, her knowing she gets a treat as soon as she poops keeps her from turning around and eating it like she did the first week. i have a routine set where she runs inside and sits by a treat jar for going poop outside, so I can quickly close the door after to prevent her from going back. The other thing is keeping her on a leash when I suspect she is going to poop! Annoying, but since dogs have a rhythm and most have signs they need to poop (opposed to pee), you can use apps or just simple paper and pen to track when your dogs eats, poops, and pees for a few days and you will be able to see a pattern. Then you are hopefully only leashing up twice a day for poops and the dog can be let out freely the rest of the time.
    Another thing that a lot of people don't seem to utilize is a CRATE. Crates, properly sized so it isn't too big, will prevent dogs from going unless they are sick. It is a great place to put the dog so they can't sneak off and poop somewhere in the house. It hasn't been mentioned, but putting down food only for 15 minutes so you can time when they are going to have to poop and leash them to prevent them from spinning around and eating it. Free feeding makes it very hard to know when your dog ate and therefore when they need to poop.
    I am still looking for what to add to my dogs' diet that will make her not like it so I can stop having to worry about it, but until then crating, timing, treats, and a leash are preventing her from eating poop. The only time she has tried was when I got sloppy and hadn't leashed her- once she starts eating, she won't respond to you calling so I had to physically remove her.

    My dog has just started this at 2 years old. After a check up with our vet he said at times it's because of boredom. I don't understand this at all since I give my dog walks at least 3 times a day, we play in the yard several times a day and we also bring him to work with us - we are self employed and can either work from home or we also have a warehouse in town. We have 10 employees who talk with him throughout the day, occasionally play fetch in our warehouse and he has a doggie bed in our office both in the warehouse and at home. He even has a special spot on the couch at work. He gets doggie dates as well every couple weeks. I used to leave his poop in the yard picking it up after a day or two, counting them out to 2 or 3 poops a day but when I noticed him eating it one day I now go out with him each and every time, if I'm not right there he tries to eat it right after pooping! OMG. I try to divert his attention, asking him Where's your toy? or Treat! since my Vet said Do not yell at him, just divert him. After two weeks, this is not working so I may take him back to the vet to make sure it's not something medical.... sigh - Any other suggestions to whoever is watching that actually worked? I'm also giving him pumpkin with his meals. I read this may make his poop taste bad but he seems to like it just as much. Yikes.

    I have a new 2.1/2 months olde english bulldog puppy. I always clean after her but at night, she sleeps on her crate with the door open to a dog play pen where I leave a couple pee pads. She usually poops twice at night and its hard to wake up every so often to take her out in the mid of the night. Through the camera I've caught that she is eating her poop. I've increased her food thinking that she could be underfed despite using a bit more of the recommended by the food company for her age/weight. Just bought the meat tenderizer now. I'm trying to find out what else I could do.

    • @franciscofredviana743

She just started back this week but it seems she only does it if she has to go out but no one is paying attention to let her out. So it’s like she is trying to hide the evidence. She only eats it right after she does it when she does.

    I have two 5 month old corgis. I have my routine where I wake up and I need to use the bathroom first thing in the morning. My bladder knows I’m up so it’s time to go. I can’t help it. Sometimes I just hold it in hoping that the girls poop before I go do my morning routine so I can just clean it up and won’t have to worry about them eating it. But they literally wait for the moment where I step outside my room to poop! And then eat it! Sure I can wake up and walk them, but I’m not leaving my apartment without brushing my teeth at least. I feel like I should at least be able to do that without them pooping and eating it. I don’t see why they would be scared to poop in front of me because when they do something wrong, I ignore them and clean it up. Not even punish them. . . Anyways Im feeling kind of helpless and don’t know what to do. I’ve had a dog before and never had this problem.

I have a serious back problem so I cannot easily bend over to pick up the dog waste which is left outside in our yard so I have to wait for someone else to do it when they come home at night after work. I only pick up the dog poop if she does it in the house. She used to eat it right off the floor if I didn't catch her in time.

      I researched some very old history books and found out that many dogs were very much seen as fitly animals in many cultures in ancient times and known to eat waste and can carry bacteria or parasites that can infect people. But in modern times and improvement in hygiene and economic growth, many people have been socially engineered to fall in love with them through tv shows, famous actors or actresses, famous politicians etc. As time went on in history, certain types of dogs were used for their hunting skills, strong curious sense of smell or detecting odors and territorial habitual skills as guard dogs because they can bark to alert the owner of the household to know someone is around and then today, they are bred for looks and other things but that inherent native instinct is still there.

There was plenty of it outside due to farm cats and strays .He would get sick every time and barf it up inside my house. It was soooo nasty! My solution was watch him like a hawk and catch him in the act, then chase him down and beat his a$$. It worked, after several caught in the act events over a few months. He finally stopped and never did it again for the rest of his life. He lived to be 12yrs old and was actually a very smart and well behaved boy, aside from the poop eating! 😝
