Hi Clare,
Congratulations on your completion of training with Quincy. Pascal loves to chase his tail too, and when he catches it, he will continue to run around in circles with it in his mouth, LOL.
As for the pooping in harness, Pascal used to do that as well. Are you giving him a chance to use the bathroom before you go on routes with him? It's a good idea to give him about 10 minutes for this before each outing. Some dogs also need to exercise a bit before they can poop. So, you may want to play tug or other activities with him before you head out. With Pascal I got to know his body language and knew the signs of him having to go during a walk, so I would stop, remove his harness and let him do his business on the grass. It takes time, practice, and patience, but eventually you will get it worked out. Best of luck!
Deanna and Pascal

Sent from my iPhone hi everyone! I return home this past day. I spent the last 3 1/2 weeks in Columbus Ohio at pilot dogs. I received a 75 pound male golden retriever named Quincy! And I are doing wonderfully. He's good work has been stellar except for the fact that he is unsure trashbags and he loves to pick up leaves. To play with his bone and spin in circles and chases tail! He is only 15 months old! He has a tendency to poop in harness. I am trying to figure out why that is. Perhaps it is stress? I am not sure. He only pooped in once while in training with me on the walk.
