Terrier eating cat poop in backyard

Question
Hi, I just read your answer about someone's dog eating cat poop in a liter box.  Your advice was to keep it away from the dog.  I have a 7 month old mutt (cross between a jack russel, chihuaha, and possibly rat terrier).  He is affectionate and loves to lick, playful and very active.  He loves to run and play in our backyard with my Havanese,  BUT he will chew and eat anything he finds.  We are scared that he will eat something poisonous or something that will scratach his stomach (once he ate a piece of broken glass that fell).. He is fast and he also eats STRAY cat poop.  Something we can not control and keep out of his way unless we keep him locked up in the house, or out on a leash.  Can it hurt him?  My vet said he could get worms from stray cats.  What do you think? How can we make it repulsive to him?

BEING YOUR DOG HAS JR IN IT MEANS ALOT OF PROBLEMS WITH TRAINING.  THEY ARE GREAT DOGS, BUT UNTIL PAST THE MENTAL BLOCK OF TONS OF EXERCISE THEY ARE CRAZY DOGS.
I WOULD NOT TAKE A JACK R AS A FREE GIFT.  THEY MAKE SUPER STARS OF THEM, BUT ARE STUPID TILL A GOOD TRAINER WORKS.
KEEP THE DOG ON A LEASH OR IN A FENCED IN YARD.  OR, WALK IT ON A LEASH AS U MUST IN MOST STATES HAVE DOGS CONFINED AND ON LEASH, SOME EVEN MUZZLED WHEN WALKING.  KEEP THE YARD RAKED AND CLEANED UP AND NO POOP TO EAT FOR DOGS LOVE CAT POOP CAUSE OF THE HIGH PROTEIN THEY EAT AND ITS BAD FOR DOGS.
IF HE HAS NOTHING TO GRAB IN THE YARD U HAVE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. KEEP THE DOG ON A TWENTY FOOT ROPE, LET HIM THINK HE IS LOOSE, THEN WHEN HE HITS THE END ROLL HIM IN AND PET AND PRAISE FOR COMING BACK TO YOU EVEN BY FORCE OF YOUR ROPE.  BROKEN GLASS DOES NOT DIGEST, CAT POOP DOES AND WILL NOT HURT HIM, BUT HE NEEDS TO BE TAUGHT RIGHT FROM WRONG NOW.  HE NEEDS A LEADER AND BOSS OR MENTOR TO LOOK UP TO AND JOIN AN OBEDIENCE CALLS WITH THIS OUT OF CONTROL DOG AND LEARN TO TRAIN HIM THERE.
HE WILL GET WORMS, WORM MONTHLY WITH ZIMECTRIN OF ONE MI ONLY ABOUT THE SIZE OF AN EREASER ON A NEW PENCIL IS ONE MI.
STICK IT INTO HIS MOUTH, GET AT A FEED STORE WHERE HORSE PRODUCTS AND FOOD IS SOLD, IT KILLS HEART WORM ALSO.  IT SAVE U MONEY .
