A belly band is a "Belt" of sorts that covers a male dogs penis. It serves different purposes for different dogs but is mainly used to housebreak puppies (they learn that they don't like the feel of something wet against the skin), prevents marking in the house for intact males...some breeders use them for all their males when a bitch is in season to prevent accidental breeding and lastly... for older males who are becoming incontinent.
If they had to poop, the belly band wouldn't have any effect.
