Funny, I've never experienced this with males, only females. One of ours, if she could, will only eat the poop that belongs to her pack...not to any fosters or any other dogs. I wonder if there's anything else to this behavior other than nutrition or boredom because our dogs are very well exercised and fed an excellent diet .

Nevertheless, we pick up immediately and have taught the leave it command, but, as Hazel said, you have to be present to interrupt the behavior.
