Sometimes dogs do the circle thing when they are pooing. That is they feel the need to move around while they are going. If he has the least bit of problem getting the poo out, like being a bit constipated, he will take longer to get it out and being moving around while he does it.
Try not to make him feel bad after he has done this or he will try to hide it every time he goes. Just work on things that will help him.
If at all possible you might try taking him out for a brisk walk to do his pooing or feed him something that will loosen up the stool so it is easier to get out. Walking helps stimulate the bowels so they can go faster and easier. |
