German Shepard will eat its own poo

I have a 1 year old German Shepard and every now and then will eat its own poo ( not fresh ) can you give me a reason thanks Peter

ANSWER: Dog eats its own Poo
Dogs have an uncanny ability to source materials that still have nutritional values - hence why they eat things that we may not agree with. A dog eating its own poo is often a sign of boredom or stress. Firstly, I would have your vet check the dog out if it concerns you. I would clean the yard diligently every day, so you eradicate the problem. I would feed the dog 2x day, so he is not hungry (which is when this also may happen). Also ensure that there is enough to play for a young dog - eg Kong or similar stimulating toys. Most young dogs grow out of it.
