How to stop poop eating?
I live in my landlords backyard, my dog and her dog have direct access to each other and use the same space, there is no separation.
For the most part this is great! They play well together, Happy waits at the gate for Zaya, Zaya waits at my door for Happy, they live each other.
Except Zaya eats poop. And seems to have taught the same to mine.
Happy is 5 months old, English Setter, she's my dog
Zaya is 3 years old, GSD x Vizla, landlords dog.
I spotted Happy eating poop a couple weeks ago but haven't seen her do it since. Today she came in caked in mud so got a bath, and afterwards vomited on the floor. It looked like mud. It smelled like poop.
The property is a decent size, and my landlord and myself are both bad at cleaning up the poop, I worry if I start really picking up the slack I'll grow resentful I'm the only one doing it. We have a great relationship so far, I don't want to ruin that by being frustrated I'm the only one putting in work. But I also don't want to ask her to pick up her game then go through another bout of mental health where I do nothing and leave it all to her. Which is equally bad if not worse since I'm the one wanting better.
Is there something to add to Happys food that might prevent her wanting to eat poop? My landlord may be willing to also add something to Zayas food
