| I know it is disgusting. I would just be more careful where I walk her. Not only does other dogs poop smell bad but your dog can pick up any number of diseases and parasites for other dogs poops. Here is some interesting information on that subject: why dogs roll in poop |

| I know a neighbor's dog who loves to do that. It starts with him sniffing the poop & if you look away for a minute he's rolling away in it.. I agree with bjh, I'd be worried about parasites & sickness.. maybe look into a special shampoo?

| Is she on a leash? If so, I would think it would be easy to prevent.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | This is a hold-over instinct from before dogs were domesticated. They would roll around in a heavily scented object to mask their own scent, when hunting.
