Help! I need advice.. Don't know what to do any more.

I got Scotty to stop eating poop, but he now dislikes anything that smells "minty" (except gum). probably going to be "yelled" at because I did use a "punishment", but it worked. What I did was to brush his teeth every time he was "caught"( this included just having poopy breath). Scotty didn't like the mint toothpaste, so that's what I used (side benefit: it covered the poopy breath). It took a couple of months to get rid of totally.

Ok. So did you use just normal human tooth paste?

All very good suggestions :) unfortunatly the leash an treats won work as she is pad trained. And I am currently trying to get her litter trained but she dosent seem to like it. Hmmm. Well now I'm putting her on "time outs" when I catch her. I make her sit for a bit and she knows I'm not happy. I'm just hopin I don't make her think it's her body functions I'm upset with rather then the act of eating it.

Yep mine eat horse poop all the time. Has anyone ever thought that if they eat dog poop and you had access to horse poop if it would stop them from eating dog poop? Does this make sense? I have thought about taking it into the shelter when we have a dog that eats dog poop. But I have never done it. I wonder if this would work.

I know this is a strange question.

why wont leash and treats work for potty pads or al itter box? they most certiantly will and will be much easier for you not having to stand outside in the cold.
just put the potty pad somewhere easy to see the second you see her going to it snap a leash on her and begin training. or you could take her to the pad everytime you think she has to go.

as far as time outs go i personally dont believe in them for certian situations they can work but i think for this one it wont why should she care? she got what she wanted and that was to eat poop now she can finish digesting it in peace.

i dont allow Cesar to eat poop of any kind it started out on walks him trying to eat deer and ebar poop along the trails now i know when he spots poop on a trail cause he snifs then turns his face away and gives it a wide birth!

No I used mint flavored dog toothpaste, which he already didn't like. Now, this didn't make Scotty hate getting his teeth brush, not saying he likes it but he does "put up with it".
