    My Basenjis would head right for the horse poop and the only question was whether it would be eating or rolling in it. Usually eating......they preferred to roll in more disgusting things. My niece's GSD was attracted to goose poop. Hard to do a tracking test across a field where geese had been. It can be very difficult or impossible to keep a loose dog out of poop. As Debra says, perhaps you can hose it away. Good luck! (BTW, this is one of the reasons.....and there are many.....why flex leads are not a good idea. Most owners have no idea what their dogs may be consuming at the end of a long lead.)

    Redial I've had 3 bitches and have fostered both males and females. Absolutely zero wanted bushes or high grass. I wonder if it's your environment? Our Samoyed male, however, WANTS to use bushes. As we have a serious snake issue, we just don't let him. He eventually gives in.

    Forgot to mention that a potassium deficit might be involved. You can check by feeding banana or cucumber, both high on potassium. Cucumber is better, because less sugar and calories. Binti loves it.

    Regardless if it is body language, visual cue or a verbal cue, what is important is the clarity of the message you are trying to communicate to the dog. Clay visit BCOA on Facebook. http://facebook.com/basenji.org

    Funny story all this reminds me of: when my oldest child, Michael, was little, we lived near a lot of woods. In the woods there were growing bushes that shed "puffballs," which were round and when you squeeze them, little puffs of powder came out of them. The kids liked to collect these and squeeze them at each other (yeah,I know). One day Michael came home with a whole pocketful of "puffballs." On closer examination, I discovered he'd come home with a whole pile of rabbit crap. Needless to say, I was glad he hadn't squeezed them all over his little sister. That story still embarrasses him even though he was only 7 or so at the time.
