Re: why does Taz eat cat poo
Other than either keeping him away from the cat poo, or being there to stop him I think you'll struggle.
A lot of dogs like to eat poo (some say it's a mineral deficiency, but I'm not convinced of that). I think you need to make sure he can't get into the bathroom (I take it that's where you usually feed the cat & keep its litter tray?) - maybe put up a baby gate so the cat can still get to it, but Taz can't.

Oh. What about putting a cat door in the bathroom door & then shutting the door?
I know it sounds drastic, but unless you can be on hand 100% of the time, you're not going to be able to stop it.

In the meantime, if you see him go into the bathroom follow him & if he tries to eat the food or the poo, tell him "No, leave it!" and turn him away. Keep repeating and if necessary turn him out of the room physically.
