I'm wondering if you should try to get a relieving harness for him. Roxie and some of the others can tell you more about them.

Here’s what i would do.
take him out and pick up as usual but, have another bag ready.  then, instead of going to the dumpster, ask him to go again.  obviously he is not done.  
also, you can put the bag over your hand and feel under his tail to see if something is happening back there, if you get my drift.  lol.
maybe he’s trying to hurry but isn’t really finished and he just needs a bit more time.

I am working a four-year-old male yellow Labrador, and he appears to have developed some relieving issues. I'm not sure how long these have been going on, as I was not in a position to receive comments from others when i was living in another apartment. I suspect, however, that they have been going on for a while. When I take him out to park, he seems to do a number two, let me clean it up, then drop a little more stool on the way to the dumpster. However, I do not notice when he does this. He does not stop, posture, or do any other of the things the dogs usually do. Since I am now at the Louisiana Center for the blind, our apartments are inspected on a biweekly basis. Evidently, there has been instances where stool has been tracked into the apartment. I'm concerned that Dallas is also doing this on route and I'm not noticing it. Does anyone know of something that can be done? I am making him sit after relieving, in order to hopefully force him to keep whatever is left inside his body. I hope this makes sense.
