<p>I hear ya. I'm trying to control Wally's interests with the cat litter cause if he has free access he will go for it.</p>
<p>But on Walks it different. I have to watch him carefully when he gets his nose going on the ground and follows a sent. If I see that poop mound coming up I'm prepared to do a quick tug and "no" or "Let go" so we continue walking. But if he's loose at the dog park he will sometimes just ignore some and others it's like Ambrogia for dogs. </p>

<p>Sure pups talk via their body language, bark, pee and other smells. I'm not sure what he gets from it, probably: "Oh hey! Is that late night pizza with sausage I'm smelling??

<p>It's instinctive. A lot of dogs do it. My GerShep loved not only her own but cat poop and <em>especially</em> horse droppings, ooohhh what a delicacy!</p>
<p></p>
<p>My vet told me to sprinkle a small amount of MSG (it's the main ingredient in "Accent" meat tenderizer) on her food. This doesn't harm the dog, but it metabolizes during digestion so that it causes the dog's poop to taste bitter.</p>

<p>It worked! Like...right away. And I didn't have to use the MSG for long -- just a week or so, and the dog lost all interest in that particular gourmet item.</p>

<p>I wouldn't soak a dog in anything -- could dry out the skin, especially at this time of year (if you're in the northern hemisphere). Have the vet look at the itchy spots. There are salves and things that will help if something's irritating.</p> It's so gross when they eat p…tag:mycorgi.com,2015-02-04:1150197:Comment:19022132015-02-04T03:56:39.932Zsusanhttp://mycorgi.com/profile/susan845
It's so gross when they eat poo! Ugh. My previous corgi did that. Thank god Jeli doesn't. But we started picking up her poo immediately after she went since we first brought her home so she never had the opportunity. Would you be able to do that? Maybe it would break the habit before it starts?
