1. If possible, ask a veterinarian to conduct a digestive enzyme test on the dog to see if the dog needs specially formulated food. Some dogs lack certain elements and like to eat poop. For dogs that are deficient in elements, there are specialized complex element and mineral drugs that are given to dogs in a rationed amount according to their body weight.
2. If you find your dog eating poop, stop it immediately and criticize it severely to let it know that it is wrong. But it must be done when it is eating. If you criticize it when it has just finished pooping or just walked towards the poop, it will cause it to misunderstand and think that pooping is a wrong thing, and it will be more likely to eat the poop in the future. The purpose of eliminating poop and not making the owner angry has been achieved.
3. You can also sprinkle some pungent seasonings on the dog’s poop, such as chili, pepper, mustard... and then let it smell it. These are the smells that dogs don’t like. After letting it smell it a few times, You will have a longer memory and stop eating poop.
4. If the above methods don’t work, then the owner can only make more trouble. After the dog defecates, it is best to have someone play with it to divert its attention, and another person will clean up the poop immediately. , if you can't play with it, you should at least clear away the poop immediately so that it doesn't have to eat. If this continues for a period of time, let the dog establish new habits, and maybe it can get rid of its bad habit of eating poop.
