I have a cousin named Leonard who was in the Army during Vietnam.
He and his fellow soldiers would often be in the jungle for several days at a time. The Army would supply them with MRE’s. (Meals Ready To Eat.) These are kind of like T.V. dinners… packed in foil bags. After the novelty of eating out of a foil bag wears off, you come to

realize that MRE’s are some of the most bland-tasting food you will ever eat.

if your dog or puppy has this nasty habit? Here’s a couple of things you can try. My clients have had success with all of these:

• Add pineapple juice to his meals.
• Add ‘Accent’ meat

flavor-enhancer to his meals. (Apparently, this gives the feces an odd odor that repels dogs… as if the odor of feces wasn’t bad enough by itself???)
• Pick up your dog’s waste immediately after he eliminates.
