Tap him on his nose, just a slight touch with your index finger (with a stern voice just say "no"). I currently have a mix breed pup and he was about to do that and after two or three times he learn to walk away.

Sometimes this habit could be a sign of a vitamin/mineral deficiency in the dog's diet. It's very similar to the human condition called pica, where persons crave strange non-food items like chalk, clay and dirt.

I think you should really check the vet.

they will grow out of it - i had a dog that did that, i does keep a heap of sand in the yard - when she goes off - i dump some sand over it and she don't interfere with it,

He said he feeds the dog pretty well, so if it's pica, it's behavioral. A trip to the vet is needed either way though.

Didn't mean to imply that he wasn't feeding the dog "well". In some cases, individual dogs have special dietary needs that the owner might not be aware of. For example, the dog might thrive on one kind of dog chow and not another. Maybe the dog food just needs a little adjustment of sorts.

[Ronaldo95163]

She gets Dog chow (Lamb) and rice, i put vitamins in it also and a powder for coprophagia

[*Nebula*]

You need to carry her to the vet again, maybe they could recommend something. Most pups tend to kick that habbit when they three or four months old or less...

[Ronaldo95163]

Thanks, i was thinking about putting in some fibre, is this good or bad?

[Redman]

Will try that, ive been putting stuff if her food to turn her away from it but she still eats it

Um if she eating her sheit you think you have something to turn her off??

Take her to the vet.

Later

[MG Man]

dude this is so WRONG
that is the dumbest thing people do
rubbing your dog's nose in poo will only increase the risk of an infection.............not to mention it's cruel

[bushwakka]

u google this? cesar milan (dog whisperer) may hav a fix for this.....its not uncommon, i've heard of it before

[Ronaldo95163]

ill register for his forum

[Invisible]

As a Rott owner it is most likely a vitamin / mineral deficiency. Mine started eating dried grass, plastic, stones etc. Started him on some vits and all that stopped....

[Ronaldo95163]

i put vitamins in her food, what kind of vitamins did you use?

[Invisible]

cot it from my vet....It's a blend of molasses and other stuff. Could find out the name tomorrow.
