My Aussie puppy eats poop despite supplements. How do I stop it?

Question

Why does my Australian Sheppard eat his poop. I tried giving him coprophagia and it doesnt seem to work. What can I do to stop this. Pet's info: Dog | Australian Shepherd | Male | unneutered | 3 months and 27 days old | 16 lbs

This is a very common behavior, some dogs just like the taste. It can also be a sign of intestinal worms or a nutritional deficiency, so make sure Max is up to date on his deworming treatments and feed him a high quality puppy food. The best way to stop this is to pick up his poop right after he goes, then he doesn't have access to it. I hope this helps!
