Coprophagia Can't Post

I woke up from my nap and noticed that my pup ate her own feces. What is wrong with her?

Yes, I penned her this morning until afternoon; training her to stay in there until she is able to listen to my commands and it's easier for us because she would not roam around the house but she ended up eating feces. Is this an abnormal behavior or she is just trying to get my attention and get her out of the pen?

*frustrated, pissed*

She is bored!!!

If you don't spend more time with her and stop this bad behaviour. Even she reach adult age when you are not around the house she will occasionally eat her own POO!!!Crazy

Ummm ... I do spend time with her occasionally like around every two hours or so. How can I stop her from doing this?

You have no choice but to catch him eating his poo and scold "NO" to him

Another possible reason is that the dog food eaten by your pup was not well digested for certain reason.
