Do you think she might have a chicken allergy?  That was the case with my
golden.

This is quite an embarrassing problem to have. Good thing most of our walks
are outdoors! I do not know what's going on with Ellie, but I have tried the
things recommended by my trainer and treating for the right behavior seemed
to work for a while. Ever since we came home Ellie has consistently relieved
herself in harness. Mostly it is once during a trip but could be twice at
times. She had started pulling me toward the grass which is preferable but
she never truly generalized it to other routes. Her usual MO is to just stop
and dump or squat. No warning! It was suggested that I play with her and get
her running before going out to park, but after 10 minutes of this and then
parking, she just stands there in one spot or sniffs around and does
nothing. It is hard to predict when she nedds to stop because she doesn't
act differently other than to hang her head a little lower but not always. I
have had trips where she dumps on the first part of the route, then squats
on the second part even after I have just parked her before starting to walk
and she did her #2 successfully. It is formed but usually a very soft lump.
Once she even pooped in Walmart!
I have parked her after a couple of blocks but she'll either go and then go
again in harness or not go and then go in harness. My other 2 dogs never did
this! I do not know what else to do and have put in a call to Guiding Eyes
on Friday.  Even just walking in the complex to the back where the office is
she will do this. We are 55 and older and disabled folks who live here so
not a busy place at all. It is not her food because it was the same on Hill
's Science Diet Chicken and Barley, now she is on Purina One Smart Blend
Chicken and Rice, and when we are near done we'll be switching to Victor
Performance. Any thoughts?
