How can I convince my rescue dog to stop eating poop?

He doesn't do it all the time, but it happened again today by the flower bed. He sniffed out a turd and gobbled it up like he just hit the turd jackpot. I think it must have been a cat turd because he sees dog poops all the time and passes them by. How do I explain to him that in my house we don't poop?

Is he a rescue dog?

I believe dogs are led by example.

Did you really have to use the word gobbled? Now I can’t enjoy my Thanksgiving.

It will only get worse with the cold weather, my dog used to love her some poopsicles.

My shitty shih tzu loves his fudgy brownies from out in the yard. Try some For-Bid, actually try a lot, since it may take a while.

My shitzu puppy eats rabbit poop. Not much you can do.

I had a veterinarian tell me that cat shit is like candy to dogs.

Make of that what you will.

A roll of newspaper - just hit the dog on the snout lightly when he is gobbling shit and stomp your foot and scream loudly, and the dog will never eat shit again.

Cat shit is dangerous, do not let dogs eat it.

My dog did that all the time as a puppy and he just grew out of it.
