I've heard that putting meat tenderizer in their food can help with the poop eating. Otherwise you will just need to pick it every single time he goes. If he is eating it before you can get run over to pick it up then teach him a leave it command.
Something I have been thinking about trying with a dog at work who is very bad about poop eating is rewarding him for leaving the poop pile by letting him go back and eat a small amount of it. Not sure if it will work or not but sometimes telling them they can do something makes it no longer a really fun thing to do. Also, putting the poop eating on command may help extinguish the behavior as long as the dog never gets to it any other time than when you say for awhile. But that is all just something I have been mulling over in my head at the moment, I am getting close to trying it out so we will see.
