Hi, my name's Wilson and I still like to eat...

Wow..you are going to have some special poops at your house!

fresh pineapple has enzymes that aren't present in canned. a lot of puppies eat poop because they learn the behavior from their mothers, since a momma will eat poop from the babies to keep the nursing area/kennel clean. i would just clean up the poop when they go potty so there are no lawn truffles to be enjoyed later, so wilson doesn't even have a choice.

I am very fortunate that Sebastian and Oliver do not now, nor ever, eaten any poo!!! We don't have a cat box (no cats) so that helps, but they've never tried to eat their own or the big dogs' either. Both my boys know the leave it command and I have to use it frequently when I'm out in the flower beds since they try to eat the leaves and with each other when Sebastian is getting too winded from playing. He has to "leave" Oliver!!! He looks at me really funny when he's chewing on Oliver and I'm telling him to leave it!

Thanks for the explanation on the pineapple, I had been wondering what the difference is. I was having a conversation just yesterday about Wilson and his treats and the learning the behavior from their mommas was discussed, that thought never crossed my mind until then. Makes sense and Wilson has been attracted to it ever since we brought him home - he would deep sniff his own at 8 weeks old and I was afraid I would encounter his habit and I did.
