Poo

BullyBenson

My ebt has gotten into a bad habit of eating other dog poo when he's out on a walk now. Problem is he keeps getting worms from it. I tell him a stern NO and pull him away when he's about to do it but when he's off the lead I got no chance. I've heard some puppy's do this but is there any other suggestions on how to stop him and why he's doing this?? He's nearly 6 months old

Nothing to do with age... I only know of a solution to getting them to stop eating their own poop. Fortunately my kids literally HOP! About 10" vertically when they come across other dogs' poop, they are that much revolted.... but, unfortunately they love deer poop... and there's tons of it around our place.
