Puppy eating anything on the soil

[emy1]

Hello guys my puppy is two months and a week, when i unleash him in the backyard he eats anything he finds and turtle poops is his favourites. The garden is too big so I can t go pick up all the turtle poop. No matter what i distraction i do he sniffs out the poop and eats it. Shall i start grabbing him from the scruff to correct him ?
Cheers

Instead of letting him loose in the backyard, I would walk him on his leash in a different area.

Mine does this with pebbles. We can walk and walk and she always ends up finding a pebble even though I have her on leash, I spend so much time pulling them out of her mouth it's ridiculous. I heard it's a phase.
