She's a poop eater

I have a puppy. She is a five month old Austrailian Shepherd. She is
a poop eater. This is an obviously disgusting habit, but I understand
it is not entirely uncommon. I took care of this problem about 3
months ago, or so I thought. I put some hot sauce on her poop, and
when shye went to eat it, she did not enjoy the taste one bit. After
that, she wouldn't go near the stuff... till the last week or so. I
started puting hot sauce on it again, but apparently she figured out
that little trick, and only ate the poop unaffected by said hot sauce.
I figure I could just pick the stuff up, but tonight, she made it
obvious that that would be innefective. You see, we put her in a crate
when we leave, Well, she obviously pooped in her crate and ate it. I
know this, because not 15 minutes ago, she thrice puked up the most
vile smelling brown substance imaginable, I mean, it ranked right up
there with shad sides. And I do mean ranked. I need to get this
animal off of the poop. Can anyone please help me?

Your "problem" (probably) is that you're leaving your pup in her crate
too long, so she's pooping in it. That is, she's not house-trained
yet. You're also probably not regulating her "output" properly. You
can do that by regulating her "input."

The crate is probably too large, which invites "problems" like the one
you're describing. Section it off, if you can, so that she barely has
enough room in which to stand up and turn around.

The best way to prevent dogs from eating poop is to not allow it
(coprophagia) to become a HABIT. And the best way to do that is to
*quickly* pick up after her, and not give her a chance to eat it.

I.e., just don't let her do it.
