A very private affair

[Selina27]

Have had dogs in the past who took themselves off out of view, and dogs that behave like Rory. Cassie is like Quinn, just get in done when you have too and move on. Although my son and daughter say that she doesn't go if they take her out, but waits for me to come home!

Coco is a shy-pooper - he likes to go deep into the trees, or the other side of a field near the hedge (which makes for a long search to find it). In the garden he generally goes out of sight of the pervs, viewing fro the back door. Meg(an) Sparkle only poos in the garden, unless she's desperate, then she'll just go anywhere.

As a pup Maisy used to stick her head in a bush but her botty was in plain view. Now she runs off into undergrowth or away from me to the hedgerow for a bit of privacy.

Mas ALWAYS makes eye contact when he poos. I know it’s from when I used to treat him do doing a poo outside but quite honestly now it’s just got a bit weird

Every morning I find myself cursing the fact that I haven't done a very good job on leaf clearing yet - and Tuppence chooses to disguise her poo amongst the leaves!

I think hiding when pooping originates in the fact that animals are vulnerable at that moment, so some of them still have the instinct to hide away.

Some of course think poop time means PARTY

Sky only ever had a poo when she was on a walk. She could hold it in until she was let off lead in the wood or the fields. She would never poo on lead. Bless her, now she’s an old lady, she can’t do that anymore and often poos on the pavement. I quickly bag it up and find the first bin to pop it in.

Red generally has to have her first poo of the day under the glare of our very powerful torch. I am so obsessed with her poos after so many digestive upsets in the past and the occasional ones these days! She doesn’t seem bothered.

Homer's a private pooper. Never on a path or open grass, always in undergrowth although will poop on the flower beds when my bulbs are just coming through.

Molly's one who likes her privacy too - goes off into the undergrowth if possible.

 

[Xena Dog Princess]

Xena's public but not flamboyant about it. Sometimes she'll go halfway down a steep bank to do one. Other times it's right on the edge of the track.

Simba always goes to the side of the path or the undergrowth, when we are walking on the trails. When we are walking in town, it is uncanny how often he will do his business within just a few steps of a garbage can!

 

[Lab_adore]

Conversely to Simba Maxx goes anywhere, anytime but always at the furtherest point from the nearest bin

It's the poo look. Ella does it too..

 

[Boogie]

Hurrah - now we can all put our ‘poo look’ photos up!

 

[Leanne]

Ok, I was the poo queen but @Emily has clearly just taken the trophy!!!

Heh, heh...I know that look. Carbon still gets a treat if he wees/poos in the place I tell him to (i.e. not in the town square or near a store front). But if it's an emergency (or what he THINKS is an emergency) and he poos in a wildly inappropriate spot, I don't scold him of course, but I also don't treat him. The look he gives me! WHERE is my treat, puny human?!

I tell him, "The 'treat' is that you just had the pleasure of a poo in front of an entire town, my friend. No actual FOOD treats will be forthcoming."

Yes, Maisy too. Right on a slope, I don't know how she keeps her balance, you can see her legs wobbling!

This to me says "Give me some privacy will you? What's wrong with you hoomans, always obsessed with our poo?"

Valid question
