My Shih Tzu puppies eat each other's poop. How do I stop it?

Question

How do I get my 3-1/2 month old Shihtzu sisters to stop eating each other’s poop. I forgot to add they have a Doggy door to go out on the deck to go potty. So I don’t always see them go out in time to stop the munchies. Pet's info: Dog | Shih Tzu | Female | unspayed | 3 months and 22 days old | 3 lbs

This is not unusual behavior but it should be deterred. The good news is, most dogs will outgrow this. Here is a helpful link: https://www.petcoach.co/article/stool-eating-coprophagy/ I hope this helps.
