Eating their own poop

Does anyone else have problems with their puppy eating their own poop? Any suggestions. I think she is doing it during the day when she is in her cage, but we have caught her doing it when she poops in the house.

Is her kennel too large? With a kennel, you have to make sure you have it only large enough that they can stretch out and turn around in, otherwise they'll do their business and sleep in a corner. Also, don't let her poo in the house! Take her outside every half hour to an hour to make sure she doesn't make any messes in the house.

Farley doesn't eat his own poop, but he likes the cats' poop if he can get it. Our vet says that cat poop has a lot of protein. Anyway, it's disgusting. Wish I could figure out a way to elevate those cat boxes or somehow make them inaccessible to the roving poop eater.
