I would not jump to pica diagnosis right away. (though it may be).
At twelve weeks I was in a panic when my dog had a grass, stick and poo (deer, moose, horse, elk, cat) eating obsession. I live in a wilderness area and there is poo of some sort every couple of steps Once he even snarfed up some poisonous mushrooms when he was right beside me.
I tried long line and corrections, but the dog became linewise very quickly.
Teaching a solid leave it worked best for me.
Something else you might try if you feed kibble, feed the dog's entire meal a few kibble peices at a time when you are out on a walk.
This will help to reinforce the 'leave it' you teach first at home, and have the dog expect that you have the better stuff to put in its mouth.
I know how frustrating it can be, but hopefully it will pass. Why they can't make the association with eating sh** and being sick I will never know!
