It is best to treat Coprophagia in your pet in its early years. If the problem is not handled early, it will be very hard for you to train your dog out of the bad habit of coprophagia later. This is because the longer your pet is acting on this desire of Coprophagia, the harder it will be for your pet to stop this unseemly behavior. It is often noticed that puppies most of the time grow out of this habit. But if you provide your pet with early training, it can ensure that your pet will not return to the same bad habit.
