| Shy Poopers For those of you with dogs who prefer privacy when pooping, what do you and your dogs do on walks? It's not like you can say, "You do your business and I'll keep walking, then we'll meet a couple doors down." |

Banning Thread Dictator Donating Member | Good question! Mine like to wander off to a corner when they're in the yard, and I usually unleash when we're at the park to let them do their business. But they do go onleash when they have no other option. Speed can be an issue. I just walk them at a time I know they have to go and don't stop until they've done their business. The key is to praise, praise, praise when they get it right and give them a treat. They lose their bashfulness quickly when there's a reward at the end. A trainer told me one time to not let them sniff every thing they come across in search of the perfect poo spot. If it looks like they're gonna go, give them 30 seconds and move on. Eventually, they'll realize it's now or never. Good luck! Here's what you want to avoid!

| AprilLove is the only one of mine that is a shy pooper, lol. I love that phrase In the yard, she prefers to hide in or behind Hostas or a tree when fertilizing On walks, she indicates she has to go, I turn around (she's on leash) then she goes, hahaha, she doesn't like any one watching her

Great advice from you and your trainer. My Max isn't bashful, but he gets annoyed with me that I keep him walking at such a fast pace that he has a hard time telling me that he needs to do his stuff. Love the Eddie Poo Dance, lol. | ||

| Mike that's hilarious! Kaji does the same pacing over the same spot over and over, then he will do a 1080 degree spin until finally he poops. You would think that now that he is only allowed to pee and poop on his piddle pad, he's get it done quicker. NOPE! The pad is only so big, and still he paces up and down, and side to side on the piddle pad, smelling every inch of it, spinning round and round until finally, the job is done. He use to not want to poo in front of me, now he asks for me to follow to show me what a good boy he is. He loves the praise that comes with a job well done. He won't go in front of anyone else though.

| Uni is not a shy pooper. One of her favorite spots is right in front of the entrance to the movie theaters.
