Brings Poop Back to Bed

Question
I have two toy poodles who have just turned 6 months old.  At first they were eating their poop but a trainer told us about Forbid and they stopped eating it(for a while...more later).  Then instead of eating it they would take it back to bed with them.  And they're so quick!  Didn't matter if we were at work or if we were standing right there.  In a blink one or the other would grab it from under the other before it hit the pad and tear across the room to their bed.  Once they stopped eating the poop we stopped giving them Forbid because we couldn't get a straight answer on whether we can give them it to them long term or forever.  After speaking to another trainer we then started crate training which is wonderful but since we both work and we do have a pet sitter who comes in twice a day, we would love to some day not have to crate them all the time.  They have their own room in the house (15x18 with lots of outside light), individual beds, toys, crates, bowls. . .HELP!

Answer
Hello Mary,
There are several things that I can suggest to you to help with this problem.  I have read some about the ForBid or Distaste (another additive to help prevent coprophagia in dogs) but haven't seen anything about the long-term issues with it.  There is also a food that you can feed called Solid Gold's S.E.P. (stop eating poop) that I have heard people rave about that have dogs that eat their feces.  
The only thing I can think of for keeping them from taking the poo to their bed is to have them potty seperately and/or on a leash.  This way, you can keep them from eating or grabbing each others poo before you have a chance to stop them.  
You might also try a water botter that you can spray at them, a shaker can with pennies or another loud noise maker to get their attention after they poo.  Once you have their attention, have them come to you for a treat (if they leave their poo alone) and praise them if they come to you.  

Give it a try and if you have other questions for me, please feel free to ask.

I found this website that has a medical description of Coprophagia, and some tips for helping to stop it.
