Madison and Izzy's Latest

So, unfortunately our precious pooches love to eat cat poop. Yup, they both love to dig into Captain’s litter box and grab out a mouth watering turd encrusted with cat litter. I do not understand this behavior. I know dogs are known for eating their own poop, but another species? What’s going on? A few weeks ago I caught Madison in Captain’s toilet pulling out a turd and she knew this was wrong because as I yelled at her and lunged for her to drop the poop it was too late as Madison already had the turd completely swallowed. I thought this was a fluke, but since then Madison keeps heading towards the litter box in hopes of sneaking a turd. Since then I have also witnessed Izzy doing the same thing. I must say she had to see Madison doing this and think its ok. Oh, and Captain’s litter box isn’t a normal litter box. It’s a container with a lid on it that has a hole carved in the top so Captain can dive in and then jump out. We had to upgrade his litter box to something with a lid on it a while back because he likes to stand up and pee. In doing this in a normal litter box pee would then go everywhere including outside of the box. I know the way to stop the dogs from poking their faces in the litter box, is by de-turding it everyday. I am going to try and do that; however, I am a busy lady and tend to forget and therefore the dogs remind me that I forgot to scoop the poop one day when they are head first in the litter box. I have no other idea of how to get them to stop trying to eat the cat’s poop.
