How to stop dog from eating chicken poop? There are several methods to stop your dog from eating chicken poop. Here are three helpful tips to stop dog from eating chicken poop. 1. Sprinkle chili sauce or cayenne pepper on chicken poop By sprinkling chili sauce or cayenne pepper onto the chicken poop, it may discourage your pooch from eating the chicken poop. Chili or hot flavor leaves a burning sensation on the dog’s tongue and this will help dogs learn that eating chicken poop is bad. This may also stop their habit of eating chicken poop. 2. Keep the coop clean and secure If you do have chickens, try to secure the chicken coop so that your canine friends do not have access to it. My friend creates a separate space in the yard for the chicken coop and uses an electronic dog fence to keep her dogs from escaping into the chicken coop. Keep an eye on your dog and try obedience training as well to prevent your dog from accessing the chicken coop and eating their poop. 3. Add fruits like pineapple to your chicken’s diet Lastly, while pineapple in moderation is good for dogs, dogs generally do not like the taste of it because it is sour and tangy. If you add pineapple to your chicken’s diet, what goes in comes out so your chicken’s poop may contain pineapple.

Hi Midnight and Zanira :) give your pet a routine proper dog food and his favourite treats. Keep him away from the chicken poop area. Keep the environment clean and hygiene. Hope your dog has a good health ahead :)

When your dog eat poop, it's not something to take too serious as it might not be so strange. It could be because it's nervous. I suggest that you keep a closer watch on your dog, keep the environment clean as possible as you can and also you could get your dog examined by the vet. Thanks

Avoid Encouraging The Behavior You might see it as scolding, but overreacting when you catch the dog eating chicken poop like beating the dog will help to stop The easiest way to keep your dog from eating chicken poop is to keep your dog away from chickens and their living coops. Dogs are playful and instinctual, and will do what they will for interaction and sustenance, including eating their fellow animals poop. You can also engage your dog with exercise to tire them out and keep them focused on you, while obedience training is an option to enhance their listening skills for when you give them a direct order.

Dogs may eat chicken poop because they aren’t getting enough nutrients from their regular food. Try to balance their diet Invest time and effort to train the dog to be obedient. You can start training your dogs with basic commands like “drop it” or “leave it” that will help. That way, they’ll know to leave things alone if you say so. Confine Your Chickens: Make things simple by putting a barrier between where you keep the chickens and where the dogs can go and explore. Physically separating the two will ensure that the dogs don’t have any access to chicken poop and there is no risk of them feasting on those nasties. Consult Your Vet To Ensure Diet Is Not Lacking Ensure that your dog is getting enough of the nutrients they need, especially for growing and active dogs. Consult the vet if necessary. Clean Up Frequently It takes plenty of time and effort to pick up after the chickens, and it seems that they never take a break from pooping. However, cleaning up after them regularly and maintaining proper coop hygiene will minimize the poop supply so that there’s less chance for dogs to feast

Firstly, check the nutritional content of the dog's feed, making sure all nutrients are in adequate quantity, especially vitamins. Then, restrict the dog from returning to such areas where it exhibits these acts.
