Poop Rolling

 You gotta change the route you are taking, she sounds bored.
No seriously, I think she's just "reading the mail" sniffing to see who has passed this way and what good things they are eating at home. A little training is needed to get them to stop turning the pages though. Doggies "see" the world with more than just their eyes, the nose is just as important as sight to them. Finally.........ugh, that could really turn the daily walk into a no-so-pleasant activity. susan |
| Other dog's poo? Nooooo, but...

| Interesting reading.
http://www.manuelsweb.com/poop_rolling.htm In summary, it is still not certain why this behavior occurs. Could be to disguise their own scent, or to bring the scent back to thier pack as a "look what I found" story to tell. |
| Oh sorry, I misread the initial post, I thought you said she was trying to roll it with her nose.........not roll IN IT!
Ahhhh, rolling in it is more common. For whatever reason, disguise, they love the smell, bringing home a scent, I sure wish they'd stop. Maybe the more vile the smell, the more fun it is.......wheeee, dead squirrel!!! Fox will poop rool here in the yard.......I don't know if it's his own poop or someone else's. Maybe if his own it is to make himself higher in the pack order, "I've got a big stink here, so I'm stronger" Or maybe in the alpha's dog's poop to show deference........I don't know. And since it all smells the same to me, all I can say is YUCK. susan |
| Not a problem I have had with my Sheepies.
My parent's sheepie Daisy (over the bridge) if given the chance would roll in it. My Boxer Roxie loved rolling in poop. 
At least the clean up is easier with a Boxer. Still not fun!! |
| Ugh, yeah, can relate...though I have no idea WHAT it was that he rolled in. We just came in from our run this morning and he was nice and clean from a bath yesterday. I kept smelling something odd, rump check...back out to wash it...back in the house...still smelling something odd...check my armpits (okay, we both ran 2.5 miles), checked the garbage disposal, trash, hmmm....happened to pet the sheepie and felt a clump of something, quick sniff, UGH! found it! back out to wash him down (it was under the ear on the mane and on his shoulder) yuk!
Not poopie...probably something that died, yukko. This was the first time it's happened but my first sheepie loved to roll on dead toads (yes, we lived in the country). |
| EWWWW... good luck with that... thus far, we have been lucky, Chipper has not engaged in poop rolling.... |
| Wow its sounds like you've got your work cut out for you, she must smell like as sweet as flowers when she comes back, LOL
Maybe you should try taking a water pistol out with you and when she goes to do it or you think she is,squirt her with the water pistol, this may help to deter her as she will associate the two actions. Also if she takes a shine to the water pistol it can be like a game when your out with her to keep her entertained. Might be worth ago, it usually works with dogs that are eating other dogs poo so might work Good Luck!! |
It's a classy perfume to them, 
One of my sheepie girls ran into a paddock and rolled in soft squishy fresh cow dung, ARRRGH, she thought terrific, I nearly threw up.  |

olive does this too. she rolls in a scent, though not poo usually. i try to stop her but really she can be quick when she wants to. You can't help but laugh at the blissful look on her face though. its like she is rolling in 100 ollar bills for how happy she looks with toung out to the side and legs all flailing in the air with this glazed look in her eyes...what a sight  |
| Ha Ha Ha no tove was not Brie, she is not allowed to get down and dirty
I am starting to think this is a female sheepie thing, most of these poop rolling posts are girls
Chanel no. 5 is out of vogue and poop essence is in LOL |
| My first OES, Merlin (a male), occasionally was 'lucky' enough to find a pile left by his lady love, Daisy, a golden retreiver in the neighborhood. He'd be in heaven, just rolling in her, mmm, leavings. And then, there was the bath....
Daisey was an escape artist. She'd manage to find some gap in her fence and come to the back door to see if Merlin could come out and play. |
