Sounds like the tabasco sauce method is ready to be used.

Empty out an egg (make a tiny hole. Swirl a piece of metal inside and let it empty out.

Make a whole mess of these...and see if she'll keep eating the eggs when tabasco and pepper powder is all she gets.

Yes, inject the eggs with something so horrifying to the dog he will NEVER touch an egg again LOL

Or, if your dog gets the eggs out of the nest, you could try sprinkling the nest with a good dusting of dried chili peppers. If he's like most dogs, he'll sniff around before he takes the egg, and after one sniff of these dried hot peppers, he won't be back for more! It's like getting pepper sprayed. Very painful, but temporary and not at all harmful. I use this method to keep cats out of my garden, and it works every year!

Chickens only have 24 tastebuds total in their mouth. You can use glass eggs in your nest to deter them from breaking open REAL eggs.

Or you could take steps to keep your dog out of the nesting area......

And citronella oil works wonders as a dog repellant....they will duck and run at the first whiff of the stuff!

My grandma had this problem with her dog and she filled the eggs with cheyanne pepper. She eventually broke the habit that way. Good luck because I know how agrevating that can be.
