My 3 month old GSP started eating her poop. She goes and if I see her going to eat it I clap my hands and say NO really loud. That usually works. Sometimes I am too late. If I don't see her she will eat it all. It just is really gross. I am kennel training her. She only goes out in the yard. I just don't understand why. Anybody know what I can do to stop her.
Kathy,Both my dogs at one time or another ate it.They have since stopped however I used to use a product called Forbid which I got out of a Fosters dog magazine.It's a powder you sprinkle on their food which gives the sh** a bad taste.It did work and once they get a taste of it they stopped all together.Good luck
We used Accent to sprinkle on poop and it worked, but found the best way to avoid "croprophagia" was to scoop more often. Can we say that word is a mouth-full? <img src="http://www.leerburg.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.leerburg.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> When Guide Dogs for the Blind told me one of my dogs had croprophagia I almost fainted til they explained. They suggested using the Accent.

oh oh, seems that my puppy's doing the same thing, he starts to lick his poop. I just pop the leash when this happens, good thing is he's listening to me. Good luck to every one who has the same problem.

I'm really confused on this issue. On the one hand, mother dogs clean their pups' poop (don't they?). I haven't been around a litter of pups since I was a child so don't remember well, but don't the pups start eating littermates poop too? My 10 week old pup wants to do it and I figure it's cause he's used to doing it with littermates. I try to stop him by pulling him away with the leash, but sometimes I see that he turns away from it on his own as well. I scoop every day but his poop is so small sometimes I miss it in the grass. On the other hand, the OP says their dog just started doing this at 3 months old. The book "Give Your Dog a Bone" mentions it as something perfectly natural, since dogs (can) eat all sorts of disgusting things. I would like to know more about that Forbid product, ie. is it completely safe to put in the pup's food, no adverse reactions?
