Cut off opportunities for contact

Clean up the dog immediately after pooping so that it does not have the opportunity to eat poop. When walking your dog, be sure to use a leash to prevent the dog from eating poop later if it is not stopped in time. If your dog wants to smell it after defecating, you should stop it immediately so that the dog does not have the opportunity to eat the feces.

Stop and scold when found

Strictly stop the dog from eating feces, and do not use corporal punishment, otherwise it will have the opposite effect. If the dog has finished eating its poop, do not punish it in any way, because the dog does not know why you are punishing it.

Behavior correction education

When a dog makes a mistake, it must immediately and firmly say that it will not be corrected. It should immediately interrupt its behavior and punish it immediately. Scolding and punishing after the fact is useless and will only confuse the dog.

Praise when you do something right

If your dog does not eat poop after defecating, praise it and give it food to encourage it. Let the dog know what kind of behavior is right, and if he does it right, he will be rewarded by the owner. You can make your dog forget to eat poop and slowly change the habit.
