Jax Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 My girl isnt really a puppy anymore, more of a teen. But she's had this habbit since she was little. When she goes to the toilet she doesnt just squat and do it in one spot, she would rather walk and leave a trail of turd behind her. Anyone else with a similar problem?? It doesnt really bother me, its just a million times annoying trying to find it all. Is there a way to teach her to stay still when she does her business Thanks Btw, she is 1y 5m German shepherd.

cavNrott Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Yes, you stop walking then she has to do it in the one place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sugclasco Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 not as bad as doing your business than turning around to smell it or running up to smell another dog as they are going to the toilet wont mention no names CISCO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rysup Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I have one of those too! He walks along as he poos and leaves a trail - its a pain when doing poo patrol because you have to pick a long trail rather than a little pile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miranda Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Yes I also have a bitch like this, it's not uncommon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldD Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I feel your pain - my GSD used to do that all the time. Like you it drove me mad, bits everywhere! LOL Thank goodness Dies doesn't do that too......I'd go batty with another 12+ years of that. Couldn't stop Kayla from doing it, we tried her on a leash, put her in a small enclosure to go - nothing worked. My only tip - keep the lawn short - it's easier to find that way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellz Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I've got a "Wandering Do" as well! And the funny thing is that all of her children do it too so there could be a genetic link! At least I can tell which offerings are hers in the scoop run....I have a fixation on the quality of the "output"! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seita Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I have a girl who does that too... actually my last girl did it as well but my boy never did. Maybe it's a girl thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daisys Mum Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 My flatmates Husky does this too and she is 12 and has been doing it all her life.... Its just a pain when doing poo patrol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jax Posted May 2, 2008 Author Share Posted May 2, 2008 Haha, wandering do sounds about right. For some strange reason i get a feeling that there is no way to get her to change this particular habbit. Sometimes when shes in the middle of doing her business i tell her to stay, and she looks at me like, "oh mumma what did i do wrong", and runs off to another place in the yard and decides to leave a trail of bread crumbs there too.

luvsdogs Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 (edited) April did it all her life. When we 1st got her at nearly 6 w/o I thought it was because she was so young. No such luck. Now we have Tilba & she started in the one spot, but sometimes walks too. It seems that April's presence is still felt.
