[nagdu] Extremely frustrated: relieving issue, please help

I think getting him to relieve a second time should do the trick. For
whatever reason, he might not be eliminating completely on the first
go, so Vivianna's suggestion should solve your problem, if your dog is
the culprit.
However, I'm a bit skeptical here, since dogs don't just poop standing
up. He would have to squat to poop again. This is possible to do on
the move for sure, but it definitely requires a change in posture. It
might not be your dog that's the issue here.
Do other people have service animals there? Might people from
surrounding areas allow their pet dogs to relieve on or near the
property? Do other animals leave scat around for people to
accidentally step into and track?
I dunno, this situation sounds weird. Not impossible, just weird.
