@mandi: "We love our little Shihtzu puppy (7 months old).  But, one thing that
really gets to me that he does is eat poop.  My husband says that is why
they call them Shitzu's.  Hahah....Honestly though, it is disgusting. If I
leave a dirty diaper on the floor (wrapped up even) and walk into the
other room, for one minute, he takes the diaper, brings it upstairs into
my room under my bed, and eats the poop out of it.  He also eats the cat
poop from the litter box.  
Problem is, I have kids, and I dont want him licking my babys face or any
part of his body at that when the dog is eating poop.  My vet says
sometimes there is nothing you can do about this.  
Is this true?  Anyone have some suggestions?"

Make the diapers and litterbox 100% inaccessible to him! Once a poop-eater,
always a poop-eater, and the ONLY thing you can do is make sure he never
gets access to the stuff.
When we had a puppy and an elderly cat, we used an x-gate (those wooden
accordion gates that are unsafe for kids) across the door of the laundry
room, where the cat box was. The cat could get through the spaces in the
gate (she was unable to jump) but the dog couldn't. Get a diaper pail with a
locking lid or take the dirty diapers outside to the trash can immediately."
