He's never been that bad before (he's 6) but recently he's definitely got worse at picking up (mainly fox) poo on walks.
When he does it I tell him firmly 'no' and put him straight on the lead. Is there any other way of dealing with it?
I've been wondering what the causes are (recently wormed) and I'm wondering if it's frustration. He hasn't been getting very exciting walks recently for various reasons, one of which will change soon. Do you think that could be a reason?
I'm really hoping that this is temporary. I've got a 14mo DD who adores him and enjoys sharing everything with him so I really can't have him transfering anything nasty to her.
Any ideas?
TIA
