Supervising and promptly picking up poop is probably the easiest solution in your own back yard. I would do a good sweep of the yard and regularly pick up new poops (for multiple reasons). If it's a problem outdoors on walks, are you open to using a muzzle? Simple and effective management solution for poop enthusiasts, if you don't feel like putting in the time to train a default leave it.

Doesn't that just mean a disgusting poopy muzzle to clean?

Yup, unfortunately, the first few times it does. But they learn pretty quickly that they can't actually get at what they were trying to eat. I have two friends (one pup has a poop affinity, and the other one just likes to pick up discarded food) that use a wide, light, basket type biothane muzzle, closed at the mouth and open at the nostrils. The dog can pant and drink, but not pick up items. It's easy to clean, but you are right, she did have to clean a poopy muzzle a handful of times.

The first friend only uses it on off leash hikes, and the other one on busy city walks because her dog is faaast. Yeah, probably not ideal for quick trips to the back yard.
