It is so strange! I narrowed it down to this though: It seems to be Roxy that (if she has poop ready to come out), she will do it the second I turn my back or leave the room. I have discovered that she is very submissive, shy and scared. Her pooping like that when I leave (I think) is a Nervous Defecation, and then the poop becomes a treat for them (especially for TJ). I just ordered a book: "Help for your shy dog" (Deborah Wood) and I hope it will help me correct Roxy's issues. I'll let you know what happens. Oh and by the way I have tried many things: Forbid, Pineapples and NOW ACCENT. The ACCENT is the only thing that sorta works. But maybe I will try the Deter b/c I really hate sprinkling MSG on their food. The Vet said it was ok and most people do 5 days on and 2 days off until it stops, but I still hate the idea of it!
