Hi there and thanks for the post.

There are a few things you can do.
But first...what diet are they on? A dietary imbalance can often show first as coprophagia (eating poo). So if they are not on a complete diet like Hills or Eukanuba think about switching them over to help.

Now this problem can often also occur when dogs are bored so try and up the number of toys they have as well as the amount of exercise they are getting. They should be getting 20-30 minutes at least a day.

If you catch them make sure to tell them off quickly and thoroughly. Telling them off will let them know that it is not okay and help the problem.

Good luck and let me know how things go.

Todd
