Shy Poopers

[QuickSilver]

Ha! Love the video. Eddie actually looks like he's on the verge the *entire* video. His butt is tucked and ready to fire, he just can't pull the trigger.

I realized that Thor is a shy pooper. We have a routine where every morning I take him to his pad and tell him "BM". He gets a huge reward for pooping, by far his biggest of the day. Even so, he's usually reluctant. I realized after a while that many times after I gave up, he would run to his other pad, and do it while I was looking the other way. I think it's probably because if he tries to leave his pad and he's not finished, I maneuver him back on. Anyway, now I tell him to BM, and then I walk away to give him the illusion of privacy.

I actually think he kind of knows he has to get the poop on the pad, because he used to just poop and run, letting the chips fall where they may. Now when he stands up and it's not completely out, he'll actually wait a few seconds.

Despite his reward for going indoors, he still strongly prefers to go outside, again, probably because I interfere less. If we're walking, he just stops dead, and it's over before I know it. He actually pooped in a store the other day. I was shocked, he's never done that before. But he just squatted and did his thing in the blink of an eye.

He also likes to run away from it as soon as he's finished. He hates waiting around for me to pick it up.

Peeing is another matter entirely. He still occasionally gets a treat for pottying, so he always wants me to see him go. He'll stand on his pad in a very theatrical manner, and then while he goes, he stares straight at me, as if to say, are you getting this?

LOL, maybe it's her way of critiquing the movie being shown.

Loving your posts about shy poopers!
Good to know that our Kenzie isn't the only one lol.
When she has to go potty, shell start running around the house like a speeding bullet, then she'll go to her pad and set it free while we pretend we are not looking (but yes, we are). She likes to go potty at this corner at the living room, where we can't watch, but there's a window where the whole neighbourhood can lol!
