Bit of a weird one here – whenever I walk my dog (a 5 year old mini schnauzer) she poops a lot. The first poop or two are normal, and after that they get smaller and runnier. It almost feels like she's trying to force it? By the end of a 30 minute walk she a has a poopy butt and is still trying to squat and try to force something out.
The vet gave her a clean bill of health and said it's probably "part of her personality."
She's smart and easy to train, but I'm not sure how I would correct this behavior. I definitely want her to continue pooping on walks, but how do I teach her to only poop 1-3 times?
Other relevant details: this is only an issue on walks. When she's in a backyard or on our balcony in the designated potty area, she takes normal poops.
We adopted her about 9 months ago, so I'm not sure what her early life/potty training was like. Her previous owner had passed away, so we weren't able to get many details about what her life was like.
