My puppy is eating her poo and I can't think of anything I can do to get her to stop. Is there anything I can do? Or will she grow out of it? She is about 6 months old

You can spray bitter apple on it. Or you can take it to the vet because she can possibly be sick

By the time you spray bitter apple on it, you could have just picked it up and disposed of it. :D
As repugnant as it is to us, stool eating is normal behavior for puppies. It evolved in canids as a survival mechanism, keeping the den area clean and more free of scent.
Most puppies grow out of it.
The best tactic is to supervise elimination, and remove stool immediately.

My puppy trainer suggested "Deter" found at Petsmart, etc. It worked for Lovie.
Also as soon Lovie would finish pooing I would yell with excitement to get her focus off it and come to me.
