Answer 1

Dont go to http://www.1000nb.com

Its a fake virus page!

I'd call a vet! Read on the dog food bag and see how much your supposed to feed him!  

Answer 2

Nursing Mothers often do this. Your pup can just be copying its mother. You can buy something that you put in there food that makes the poo smell really bad to them and it will make them stop. Make sure you read the box or contact your vet to make sure it is safe. I belive it should be though by the age of your pup.

Answer 3

I strongly agree with CANDACE (or something like that) Go to Petsmart tell them you're having that problem and they will get you some pills that are over the counter... the product is made by 8-in-1 DETER  Coprophagia, but as much as you may think its gross they are very smart the lack of nutrients that hes getting from his food he finds in his stool.. so make sure to check his food if corn is in the first four ingredients then you're just giving him a filler food try something that has the protein as the first ingredient like lamb chicken beef venison or herring  (misspelled)

Answer 4

puppys do that all the time my puppy used too

Answer 5

Its called Coprophagia.  Easily remedied.  You can get over the counter stuff at a your local petsmart etc.  

Apparently there is undigested things in the poo that seem... tasty to your boy.  The suppliment from the store is an enzyme that further digests food so that it is less food like and more p**p like.

Scold him and teach him its not ok.  This is for the psychological portion of this situation.  

You can go as far as putting bad tasting things on the poops (hot sauce, bitter apple) to teach him a flavor lesson should he trie another snack from the lawn.

Good luck.

Answer 6

maybe feed your dog 1\4 cup of dog food

Answer 7

He is probably not getting the proper nutrients he needs.  Try switching his food to a better quality brand, or try adding a supplement to his meal.  Sometimes this can also be a "stage" and a bad habit some dogs obtain.  He will probably grow out of it, but I would bet on it being a vitamin deficiency.  

Answer 8

dogs do that c**p all the time. while it's prolly not good for them, they are dogs. they do that stuff. just train him that it is bad.

Answer 9

Maybe you are feeding him two much, he really only needs about 1-2 cup a day
