Do a search on past threads, everything is covered on there, from pinapple to tablets!!  I tried the pineapple and it didn't work for us but the tablets did. If you want more info pm me. Good luck

My cesky did this when I first had him at 9 months. It appears that it is not an unusual behaviour, be it unpleasant. You can by tablets at pet stores for the condition, I was told it is formally known as Coprophobia. I made up a mild mixture of chilli powder and water and waited until he went. I would squirt the liquid liberally and he sniffed and walked off. I cleared the mess immediately and repeated for a few days. He has now stopped completely. I would also suggest using a neutralising cleanser - simple solution is very good. The dog cannot smell any trace of where he has been. He is still particial to rabbit droppings, whilst out walking though!
