My dog was a notorious poop muncher. DETER worked very well until we cut down to the maintenance level. Unfortunately it isn't cheap and with a 70 lb dog I was paying about $35/month for the stuff.

My dog has since generally grown out of it. IN the past she ate it fresh as can be, but now she will only occasionally eat ones that have been sunbaked. What I found was that if I did tabasco on the poop, DETER, pineapple, etc. but did not get out to scoop da poop the sun would dry it out enough within a day to eliminate any "unpleasantness" caused by my intervention.

From what I gather, some dogs grow out of it, some don't. I did try tabasco on the poop but found that my dog loves the stuff. While bringing it outside I spilled a bunch on the floor. The dog ran over and lapped it up. She had to go drink a bunch of water, but returned shortly after to finish off the tabassco. What a goof.
