HELP PUPPIES OUTGROW THE POOP-EATING HABIT

Puppies do a lot of cute things, and lots of NOT so cute things.
For some puppies, the NOT-SO-CUTE THINGS include eating p**p…, their own p**p, other dog’s p**p.
It might start around 4-9 months of age & get worse around 1 year. And fortunately most puppies will outgrow this bad habit.

Understanding the reasons why they have that habit enables us help them outgrow this habit.

Consider the 4 following tips to help them along:

1. Build more consistent play time into their day. Because puppies might eat p**p out of boredom.
2. Make sure the cat’s litter box is always kept away from puppy.
3. Walk your puppy on a leash
So you can see what she might pick up outside
4. Reward your puppy for leaving p**p alone
It’s one of the yuckiest dog habits but with patience you can help your puppy break it.
