I bought a pair of adult dogs from a large breeder. They are Labradors if that matters, they are able to go out without much supervision as I live in a rural area. They wander the yard munching on their own dung. I'm not going to muzzle them Every time I let them out, but I would like to stop this behavior before my other dogs see and repeat the sick act. I read that it was most common in multi dog households. They are 4 ish years old and I'm sure they did this before I obtained them. I can call one off a pile and the other will swipe in and steal it. The first time I saw it I almost puked. Any suggestions?

It sounds good to pick it up and I do but with 4 dogs and 44 acres it is impossible to find it all. They also go in an enclosure during the day while I work and they keep the kennel clean of dung. I will look into the stuff to make it taste bad.

I've heard that if you feed them a banana once a day that they will stop. Its a texture thing I guess? Also heard it is due to diet but have no fist hand experience on this matter.

Now that sounds interesting. Someone actually came up with and sells a product that makes a turd taste bad ? You've got to see the humor in that. So did the inventors perform a taste test to confirm/verify that the spiked turds actually taste bad ? Truth in advertising requires this !! w

If you are feeding them a good quality food high in protein check the recommended serving for their weight. They might not be processing all the food and they are thinking it is kibbles in sausage form. I've seen a lot of ranch dogs search out and fight over calf poo due to it being so rich from ma cows milk. What they didn't eat they wore like perfume - especially scour poo. If you are feeding them lousy food like Ole Roy, well there probably isn't much hope for them, post pictures of them on the net for "People of Walmart" you could be the trendsetter for "Pets of Walmart"

Now that you mention this, I have heard about the canned pumpkin. It's cheap enough to give it a shot!

You need to start one of those dog poo cleaning services that yuppies pay good money for. All you have to do is walk your dog. No muss no fuss. Or have kids. That's one of my sons chores, "poop patrol". I bet he wishes we didn't have 3 dogs. I have one male that just carries the dried turds around. He want touch the soft ones.
