Ok... here's the situation....
As far as the dog eating the poop, many of the inexpensive foods aren't digested well, and the dog frequently will eat the poop to regain those lost nutrients.
One suggestion I've seen is to feed the dog pineapple... I don't know if it needs to be fresh, or if canned will do..... there is an enzyme in the pineapple that apparently makes it not so tasty then.
