Well, my dogs s*** on the concrete.I hate that
facts about the dangers of dog waste
4. The U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) confirms pet waste can spread parasites including hookworms, ringworms, tapeworms and Salmonella. When infected dog poop comes into contact with your lawn, the poop will eventually "disappear", but the parasite eggs can linger for years! When a human or animal comes into contact with that soil through everyday activities like walking barefoot, gardening or playing, they risk infection from those eggs ... even years after the poop is gone.
5. Pet waste is teaming with E. Coli and other harmful bacteria including fecal coliform bacteria, which causes serious kidney disorders, intestinal illness, cramps and diarrhea in humans. (There are 23 million fecal coliform bacteria in a single gram of pet waste!)
6. Dog poop often contains roundworm larvae, which cause blindness. If a human ingests a roundworm larva, it can migrate through the body causing disease to the brain, lungs, kidneys, liver, heart or eyes. So when people (especially children) touch soil, dog toys or anything that has been in contact with dog feces and then touch their mouths, they can become infected.

In fact, if there was ever a agent that can be applied to dog waste to make it smell bad to the average dog, kill the parasites in the waste and make it dissolve, it would be a good seller if there is LOTS of it in a park that people do not pick up.

We had a pup that was into Japanese beatles the first summer, his scat resembled toad poop. He grew out of it the following year.
Ok Rustybucket I didn't know about any of that so thanks for sharing! We pick up our dogs poo ASAP already but I'll keep a close eye on our kiddo.

I have always heard this...
A dog that cleans up after himself.
May or may not grow out of it...or it could take several years. Try garlic. Capsules seem to work best.
One of my sister-in-law's dogs follows the other around and eats the poo before it even hits the ground! Mmmmm, warm and steamy, straight out of the tap!

Yeah the consensus is that most dogs stop after a year or so... I tried a garlic capsule today and will keep trying to see if it works... The big problem is that it is just intermittent behavior, so I don't know when it is or is not an issue any more. For now I just try to pick up poop as soon as she goes, or as soon as I see it.
This dog has been eating the poop of 4 other dogs for going on 7 years now. When it's time to mow the backyard, I might find three or four piles of "super concentrated" poop to pick up.
This dog is a super healthy "machine" and also a fairly regular blood donor. Your dog is just being a dog. I think it's kind of like some people like eating liver and others don't.
