Wild canids (wolves, coyotes, etc.) get a significant part of their diet from eating the undigested material (grass, grain) in herbivore (deer, etc.) droppings.
So what your dogs are doing is perfectly normal, however disgusting we think it is.
Per advice of vet, I sprinkled “Accent” or MSG on my retriever’s poop. Don’t know why, but it worked.

I have the opposite problem, a kitty with obsessive compulsive disorder about the cat box. I have to pull her out of the box because she won’t stop digging digging digging and throwing litter around to make sure every little speck is covered up. Of course, the cats then go clean themselves all over, including licking their own butts, and then want to give kissies too.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
I have a cat like that! She will dig in the litter, then on the walls and the floor. She digs around her food and water dishes until she manages to dump them onto the floor too. What an annoying sound (and mess)!
