For those who responded civilly, we live on a quiet culdesac with very
little traffic and our dog is trained to stay away from cars. She is
allowed to roam occasionally, for only a few minutes at a time, for
example when we are in front of the house or working on the yard.

This is when she does her poop rolling routine. I'll try taking her on
a leash and correcting her when she shows any interest in the stuff.
Hopefully after a few times, she'll get the idea.


I don't know who didn't respond appropriately (many of us killfile the
group's psychos, so if they responded, we wouldn't know).

At any rate, being outside with you means roaming shouldn't be
happening - supervision and training. Hope the cars are trained to
stay away from her as well. How do you put her in your car? Roaming,
even for a few minutes, obviously gets her in trouble. I thought she
was a poop *eater*? Rolling is something a lot of dogs do,
particuarly deer and bunny poop, which is much harder to find or
notice (except for the dog!). Leashes are great tools, as are fences.
