Eating Poop

I've got a 11 week old puppy who seems to have an addiction to day old (or older) poop.  She will scavenge for it.  Any reasons for why she has this attraction?  Any thoughts on how to curb it?

We have had the same problem.

Our 1.5 year old eats poo – his own or our other bulldog's poo. I have started experimenting with putting a little canned pineapple in their kibble. I have heard that although they like the taste, once through the digestive system, if makes the poo not very tasty. You could try it. I also try to pick up any poo as soon as it's dropped.

Poop

Disgusting but common. There is a product you can feed them that supposedly makes it unattractive but I think it is costly. The best thing you can do is pick it upas quickly as possible to not give her the opportunity.
