Cat feces is extremely desirable to a dog because it contains much of the same allure as cat food. If you have a dog that decides cat feces is an acceptable treat, you cannot easily train that dog to cease this behavior. Raiding the cat box is rewarded by the cat feces your dog finds to eat. Even if you punish your dog, the reward of the cat feces will probably out weigh the drawbacks of any punishment. Avoid the frustration of a cat box battle by removing the temptation of a cat box full of feces.
