Why Do They Do This There isn't Brain Training For Dogs Review an exact explanation of why dogs will do this, but there are a few theories and possibilities that experts have come up with. Your Dog May Be Bored: Do you keep Fido in a small area with nothing to do and just a few toys to play with and then leave him there for several hours? If you do you are asking for trouble. They need things to do and it just may be that they turn to coprophagia just to pass time. They're bored! Is Your Dog Nutrient Deficient? You should check your dog's food intake to see if there is some nutrient missing in his diet. A dog can automatically turn to coprophagia as an instinct to supplement some of the undigested nutrients. Make sure you are giving your dog "premium" dog food, whether it's kibble, homemade food, or raw. They Need More Attention: If you have watched your dog eat his poop and then you freak out in front of him, he may continue it just to get the attention you just gave him. Try not to react to it. (Yes, I know it's hard to do) It May Be Instinct: In the wild, females would eat feces from her pups to keep predators away so it could very well be an instinct in some dogs. Also, I know you don't want to hear this, but maybe your dog just likes the taste! Let's hope that isn't the case, but most likely it's a combination of the all the factors above that are responsible for coprophagia. What Are The Solutions Poor Something Distasteful On The Poop: You can try to pour lemon juice, pepper or even tobacco sauce on his poop to make it unappetizing. There is a product called Forbid that you can add to your dog's food that will make his poop distasteful. This doesn't work on every dog, but it's worth a try. Other things that have worked are adding spinach, pineapple and even meat tenderizers to their diet. It will make their poop smell bad and therefore not be appetizing to your dog. Buy Premium Food: If it's a nutrient your dog is missing you need to buy nutrient rich premium food. This will make sure his digestion is running smoothly. That way there won't be any nutrients in their poop that he instinctively feels he is missing. Give Your Dog More Activities: If he is bored, leave toys and chews that are challenging to him. Treat balls are excellent because they have to work hard to get the treats out of the ball and it's very entertaining for them...plus they get rewarded for their hard work. This will keep them busy for quite a while. If you have good chew toys, it will give them something to do with their mouths other than eating feces. Use A Non-Verbal Reprimand: Do not say a word when you catch your dog in the act. They very well may want that kind of attention. Just spray him with a water bottle filled with cold water or you can put some rocks in a can, duck tape the open end and shake it as soon as they try to eat the poop. Either one of these suggestions will definitely scare them.
