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.
