Anyone tried those products you put in their food that’s supposed to make their poop taste gross? Did it really break them of the habit? Any brand recommendations?

It’s worth a try, and probably much cheaper and more nutritious than something you’d buy at a pet store. Here, I found the post: http://dogtime.com/discussion/forums/171/topics/98

Or you can try changing his diet. Dogs sometimes eat poop when they are lacking something in their diet. Or just clean up his poop more often. That way he does not get a chance to eat it.
Dragon Fly 21 posts	I LOVE the spray collar idea! I’ve never heard of that before. Do you know where I could purchase one?

His trainer told me that this was natural since cat poop was so nutritious. Even still it grossed me out! so, what I did is simply not let him near the litter box. He grew out of it in a month. Same goes for outside, I just didn’t let him go nears poop if it was left on the sidewalk by some inconsiderate pet owner. Now he’s avoids poop all the time.
