Why do some dogs eat dog feces and how to stop it immediately?

Closer you get, treat more often, until you can walk around it, very close, and she continues to ignore it. Don’t push her to get there in one training session. You’ll probably start, get 1/2 way to the poop, and end for that session. Next session, start where you left off, or further away. Good luck!!

You might want to start by reading up on the behavior “coprophagia” (that’s what this is).

Easiest way to prevent is to eliminate the possibility by not allowing opportunity - clean up after dog relieves itself, ideally on walks, and exercise while leashed/ supervised. It’s more common among puppies than adult dogs. Since this is a new behavior of an adult dog, it’s worth mentioning that sometimes dogs who do this may have a nutritional deficiency (and are trying to supplement needs through undigested value in feces-yes, it’s gross), so you may want to discuss this with your vet.

That is just something that dogs do. They also might like to eat from the cat’s liter box and goose poop at the park. The easiest way to stop the behavior is to pick it up right away so there is no poop to eat when home, and monitor her environment when not at home and off leash.

It’s possible to out-train the behavior, but it takes a LOT of patience and time to get there. I’m not a professional but my thought is to treat it like any other thing on the ground she shouldn’t go for. Find some poop (not her own) or slice of cheese, hotdog, etc. On leash, start at a distance with a very high value treat. Closer you get, treat more often, until you can walk around it, very close, and she continues to ignore it. Don’t push her to get there in one training session. You’ll probably start, get 1/2 way to the poop, and end for that session. Next session, start where you left off, or further away. Good luck!!
