Terra does that crap and I just want to strangle her for it. She'll walk around with obvious physical signs that she needs to poo, and then she'll lay down in the grass and chew a stick. I'll tell her to go potty, and she'll stare at me. Sometimes I get the squirt bottle and start zapping her when she goes to do anything other than potty. Got so mad today that slammed the squirt bottle on the ground and broke it (not very smart). Then I tethered her so she couldn't roam the whole yard, and would hopefully get bored and poop. She selected a spot in the shade and laid down to stare at me. Half hour later, she still hasn't gone. Now we're back inside, and I'm just waiting for the rancid smell of poop emanating from her crate.
I swear these dogs will be the death of me.
