Hee hee, I don't know. My sister's dog, Skooter, an australian sheppard/beagle mix, does that too. And then as you're behind him picking up his poop, he kicks his legs back and kicks grass all over you! Maybe others will have some suggestions

I really don't think so, but I share your pain. Yeller is a poop walker too. Drives me nuts!

there is no way to change a traveling pooper into a stationary one.
luke and penny are my one pile depositers. i like the one piles much, much better.
taylor is my traveler. she likes to leave a trail.

i have been known to blindly step in one or two of taylor's dashes or dots, either in the process trying to pick them all up or sometime later when i failed to do full clean up earlier.
i have never stepped in any of the stationary pooper's poops.

you know how some people can roll their tongues and other cannot, not matter how hard they try? i think that's how it is for the traveling vs the stationary poopers. i love my taylor girl, her trails of poop and all.

Elias is a poop walker too. ALWAYS turns in circles, then poops as he's walking. Makes clean up a bit of a pain.

Ernie is a walker too....except even worse he occasionally steps in it himself when he is trying to walk to a new spot :P

That is so funny!!! The kids are always wondering how I get dog poop on my shoes, and that is the exact reason!!!

Duke is a circle pooper - poop, do a 180 give it a good snif, poop some more, do another 180 just to see if is the same poop :

[luke from georgia]

when duke is finished pooping, is he enclosed in a circle of pieces of his own poop?

i've seen a dog poop this way before. it was an amazing sight. the dog did a semi-squat and began spinning in place like a helicopter. the poop literally flew out of his butt. when the dog finished, he was surrounded by poop.

Yes, I too have a poop walker and I don't believe their is any way to reform them. I just think that is there way of working it all out
