Dunking your dogs head in the water filled hole is not a very good method
since it can traumatize your dog. The way that has worked best for me
is to put the dogs feces in the hole.  However, since your dog is eating
its feces you need to correct that first.  To correct that problem consult
your vet and tell him the problem. Vets can give a medication that puts an
awfull taste into the feces that the dog will not want to eat.  More 
importantly check to make sure that you are giving the dog enough food.
