This question comes from Samantha. She asks: "Why does it take my dog such a long time to find a place to poop and get comfortable before she goes?" Samantha, that's a really good question, and unfortunately there is not going to be a great answer for you on this one, but there's certainly some speculation and theories out there.
Some people think that this is an instinctual thing left over from before the dogs were domesticated, looking for scents of prey, predators, other animals in the area before they actually go. There's certainly some other speculation as well that this may be conditioning from people themselves. So if you take your dog on a walk or let your dog go outside, and when they defecate, that signals the termination of that activity. In other words, "Dog poops, walk is over". They may actually be trained that once they go, that enjoyable activity is done, and therefore they take their time in doing this to fully enjoy as much as they can on the walk or being outside.
