The doghouse

dog rolling in fox poo when with the dog walker

Hi all, only posted here once before but after a bit of dog walker advice.

Basically whenever my JRT goes out with the dog walker,about once or twice a fortnight, she comes back stinking of crap, obviously having rolled in fox poop.
When I walk her I always call her back if I see her about to roll,and she is very good at recall.

Should I mention it to the dog walker, or just suck it up and get out the shampoo?

Incidentally, when my friend takes her out, once week, my JRT does not roll and comes back smelling OK.

Does the walker take her out on her own, or with other dogs?

I think she's with about 3 other dogs, and my JRT is very sociable and off the lead, walking on a local common/heath.

I'll be back later!

Welll... I suppose if she's got other dogs with her as well, she can't have her eyes on ALL of them at the same time, so it's easier to miss your dog preparing to roll.

It's worth a mention I suppose, but I reckon if you really want him to stay clean then you'll have to ask her to walk him on his own, which presumably would cost more?
