[nagdu] Lines in the sand?

[Linda Gwizdak]

Hi,
For that problem, I wait for the dog to start to poop and I then hold the 
leash up at the clip and hold the dog in place. If the butt swings around, 
then everything is still in a relatively small radius.  After awhile, the 
dog may learn that you want them to stay in one spot while relieving. 
(grin!)
