Somebody, please give me an idea. I was reading that there are dogs like that, i know i have to train my dog, but believe me i have tried many times without result. With proper training i know i could help him. I am out of bullets. Any idea?

from what i always heard,dogs occasionally did that so other predators couldn't find it.then they'd re-poop somewhere they felt safe. he may need a designated spot to go everytime(as much as possible,dogwise),because something might be making him feel cautious.

Not everything gets processed that we eat. The dogs can smell the different smells. if there is something in there not processed and they like the smell. They will eat it.
