Can you sense the exasperation?? I tried everything with that Lab and watching him eat it just turns my stomach.
My dogs will eat just about anything I put in their bowls (and obviously things I don't put in their bowls too!). That makes things (adding meds or variety or whatever) easy.
As for other folks I know who tried the pineapple, none of them seemed to have an issue getting their dogs to eat it. It's quite a strong taste to disguise, that's for sure!

My lab will eat concrete if she can get the bits small enough. i'm sure I could throw pineapple chunks at her and she'd eat them. I am just not too worried about my poop eaters... All animals eat poo. All dogs lick their butt.
In my daily life as a dog groomer I find it a relief if the grossest thing I see is a turd eater or a butt licker.
Really taste deterrents can come in pill form too. As with most things it's just a matter of what works for you.
I've gotten into a habit of just picking up the turds as soon as my dog lays the logs. It controls the smell in my backyard and doesn't act as a rodent attractor. Rather than do a once or twice a week cleanup of the area, I've just gotten into the habit of getting it up when it's warm
My puppy doesn't very rarely barks, even when he's inside his kennel in the backyard. Should he be barking when he hears the UPS truck, mailman, or strangers at the age?
My 8 month old puppy is the same way. I don't look at it as a bad thing. She will bark if she feel threatened but other than that she is very quiet. She's learned the "speak" command though.
Does he bark when you're training ro playing?

Picking up the poop and working on a strong leave it will help. I've been lucky in that I've only had one dog that ate it's poop. What worked best for me was a little plain, canned pumpkin mixed in the food (and training and clean up of course). Dogs usually like the pumpkin but it seems to make the poop taste bad to them. Won't help with the eating of other poop than their own. And, if you try pumpkin, be sure to get plain pumpkin and not the pie mix.
