How do I get my dog from eating cat poop from the litterbox?

Is this normal? she is a puppy, I cant just move the box because of the kitten. But we cant get the pup to stop getting it out bringing it to the living room and eating it.

Answer #1

Just be persistent - discipline her for bad behaviour. She will eventually understand that it’s not acceptable.

Answer #2

I keep yelling no, she knows cause she gets up and hides. But she just wont quit, and I am so tired of cleaning up cat poop of my carpet, the kitten is trained. He goes in the box, plus I am pegnant I shouldnt be having to handle the stuff…LOL The dog not only poops in my house but drags the cats out. I would put the box up, but have no where to put it tht isnt out of reach for the kitty.

Answer #3

You really just need to train the pup my dog use to eat crap from outside but once she understood that it was bad she stoped

Answer #4

You should train it but dont yell at her because if you yell at a dog it learns fear of the yelling not of what she is doing. You need to associate some type of pain with the eating of cat poop so put something the dog doesnt like but the cat does in it… The dog wont like it so it will understand that eating the poop isnt good.
