My Dog Brought Me Some Poop

Well, clearly one thing you need to do is check the litter box frequently, otherwise your dog is going to eat the poop. It sounds as though you're not cleanng it enough. You might consider doing it at least twice a day. It's hard to tell why your dog did it, although I must say what you described was pretty cute. I'm thinking he brought it to you to show that it was there - in the litter box. The way I figuer it, is dogs are somewhat like children. You don't put temptation in front of them, then punish them when they go for it. You remove the tempation. I don't know why dogs like cat poop. Mine does too, so I check the litter box probably 4-5 times a day. You don't have to do a whole cleaning every time - just remove the poop. It only takes a second, and the problem is solved. Sounds like youre doing a good job training your dog not to eat it, but as I said, I'd remove temptation. Lynn On Mon, 29 Mar 1999 10:14:35 -0800, "Michael S.
