Three Easy Tricks to Solve Your Dog Behavior Problem - Poop Eating
Articles - Lifestyle
1. Teach your pet the "leave it" command, for those times when you prefer to walk him off-lead. Reliable obedience and the "leave it" command makes off-lead walks a real pleasure (and it is a lot more secure for your pet, too - the convenience of "leave it" relates to other stuff like insecticide, snail bait, and shattered glass as well as dog poop!). Do not overlook, in LARGER locations it is required to collect your pet's"poop". Therefore, be certain to obey the statutes in your area.

1. Teach your pet the "leave it" command, for those times when you prefer to walk him off-lead. Reliable obedience and the "leave it" command makes off-lead walks a real pleasure (and it is a lot more secure for your pet, too - the convenience of "leave it" relates to other stuff like insecticide, snail bait, and shattered glass as well as dog poop!). Do not overlook, in LARGER locations it is required to collect your pet's"poop". Therefore, be certain to obey the statutes in your area.

2. Booby-trapping the poop in the backyard with stuff like: Hot sauce and lemon juice. This seems like a great deal of (rather foul) trouble to go to when you could just pick up the poop. In addition to the natural deterrent of having to regularly mess with specimens of canine poop, results of success from this tactic are pretty unreliable - in most cases, it looks as if that a canine fixed on coprophagia isn't going to be put-off by a short-lived red-hot sensation in his mouth. - There are medicines you can get from the internet and veterinarian clinics that, when put into the pet's food (or the food of the household dog whose poop he's eating) makes the poop smell and taste quite unappealing to dogs. One such product is called "Deter". - You can experiment with including natural deterrents - such as a few tablespoonfuls of canned pineapple or pumpkin, or raw, grated zucchini - to your canine's meals. Once more, anecdotal evidence reveals that most dogs will willingly eat these substances, but that their existence in poop makes it distasteful.

3. A part of the dog behavior problem is that the poop is available for the canine to devour. Thus, collect the poop in your own backyard as soon as the canine eliminates. If he doesn't have access to it, he can not eat the dog poop - and it'll save you from dealing with the flies, the odor, and the chance of someone walking in it.

The most desirable trick to fix this dog behavior problem to keep your dog from eating poop is frankly...PICKING UP THE POOP! In that if it isn't there...it can not be eaten!
