Bad eating habit started - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Pam 19 · 02-18-2011, 03:43 PM

Teppi is 41/2 mo. old & has just recently started eating her poop everytime I turn my back. She goes when I take her out but sometimes she doesn't & does it in the house. I also keep training pads down for her which she pees on but has never pooped on. Never pooped in the same place like marking it. Just goes anywhere. Someone told me to try putting crushed pineapple in her food & it would give the poop a really bad taste. I'm going to try it. Has anyone ever done this before & does it work? I read reviews on the internet about some of the products you can buy & I saw alot of bad reviews on some so I thought I'd try this. Please let me know if you've had any experience with pineapple or anything else that you can use with good results.

I feel your pain. Take a look at this thread I created months back. There is quite a bit of information in there. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yor...-his-poop.html

Thanks so much for the thread about eating poop. I read all of it & made notes on everything. I've been adding crushed pineapple to Teppi's food yesterday & today. It doesn't seem like she's eating as much as she was before. I'll try the pineapple chunks as treats & see if she likes them. If not I'll try something else mentioned in the thread. I'll just go down the list of things to try if it takes it. lol Hopefully not! I'll let you know how it goes.

I hope it helps you. Well, Teppi. We are still working on it with Max. It looks like the "leave it" command is the only thing that stops him.

Yeah, if I say something to get Teppi's attention she stops & runs a few steps away but I have to watch her while I'm getting some tp or she'll run back to it. She's so FAST!! Trust me, I keep tp very handy & easy to get to. lol
