    Shirley, excellent video. I love Susan Garret and have used her stuff before. In fact, I have known trainers with dogs who used that for cat chasing or reactiveness to other dogs when walking. For many dogs who didn't have incredible prey drive (especially in a home situation) .. it really worked.

    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.)

    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.

    My first two had no issues with the back yard. But Gossy, being the princess chick that she is, can't be bothered with pooping in her yard and insisted on walks. I didn't catch on until recently and now I'm making a big effort to train her to the back yard at least for the morning (it's getting too dark to go for walks before work). A lot of patience on my part and special treats just for pooping are beginnning to show results. This morning I tried the match trick someone mentioned the other day and within about 10 minutes she pooped - yay! (I can't believe I'm excited about dog poop :D:D)
