Unfortunately, poop-eating is a fairly common behavior among dogs. The best way to resolve it is to pick up the feces immediately after the dogs do their business. There is a product called Forbid, which is sprinkled on the dogs' food, that makes the poop taste bad, but as soon as you stop using it the problem will very likely come back. Do not scold Prince unless you actually see him doing it. He will not know why he is being reprimanded.
