Sometimes a dog needs more food at one meal then another. Try cutting back
her food at breakfast a quarter cup. That should take care of the extra on
root. Raven gave you good ideas also. 

Our labby needs his extra portion in the morning, or he will wake us up
super early to go out. 

Welcome, I am Becky from the great State of confusion, I, I , I, mean
Washington State, giggle.

Becky and the flying fluffy fur ball, dats me, toothy grin. Love Jake

Hi Morgan,
I'm Raven, a recent college grad from Michigan. I too am working my
1st guide dog, a 5.5-yo male golden from GEB. I received one of their
last goldens before they ssent their golden stock to GDB.

Do you walk your dog when you take her out to park? Most dogs
typically get exercise before they poop. The way guide dog schools
teach us to relieve our dogs is atypical for a dog. Though it isn't
always convenient for us, it is normal for a dog to poop after some
walking, playing, or other exercise besides doing a few sniffs and
circles on leash.

Also, are you familiar enough with your dog to know her signs that she
needs to relieve herself. It is normal for handlers to have a learning
curve pertaining to their dog's body language. Perhaps she is showing
signs such as squatting, walking funny, speeding up, slowing down, or
seeming more distracted when she needs to poop.
Hth.

You are valuable because of your potential, not because of what you
have or what you do.
