If you are really consistent with this, your dog migh take this to the extreme by bringing the item to you and dropping it at your feet for a high value reward. Or they go further to give you garbage before you even know about it.
No thanks. I don’t want my dog to bring the cat’s poo.
If it’s eating your cat’s poo (as opposed to random cats’), is switching to cat food that’s not artificially flavoured an option? As I’ve been told by a dog owning friend that that’s the issue these days, the flavourings make it out into the poo and so it smells tasty to a dog (bleurgh). I know how difficult it is to switch food for a cat though, and how pricey the good quality stuff is.

Haha gross!
For that you want to teach the leave-it command so they ignore it entirely. But better have a valuable treat to reward and reinforce it!
I’ll give it a shot! Thanks!
