Question

When I take my dog for a walk he usually ends up pooping in other yards. Any ideas of how to make him stop?

Answer 1

Take plastic bags with you to pick up his p**p.  You can't stop a dog from pooping.  Even if he just p**p in your yard he could still do it again on a walk.

Answer 2

You didn't let us know if your dog is on a leash .

I strongly suggest you get one and then you will be in control. They don"t know where it's appropriate to go.  You must teach them, all they know is that they have to relief themselves.  Good luck!

Answer 3

don't let him on the grass of another persons yard. Teach him to walk by your side and don't let him sniff around.  My dog will never p**p while we are on a walk, so I know that it ca be done.

Answer 4

No, idea how to make him stop pooping other yards but you should be a responsible pet owner & carry little baggies or something to pick it up & dispose of it at home, in the garbage, instead of leaving it in someone else's yard.

Answer 5

Start off in your yard, don't take him until he poops, them take him for a walk.  It worked for my dog.

Answer 6

I usually keep my dogs close on the lead when going near homes, I live in an area that has some heavily treed lots with no homes, when we get to an alright spot I let their leash out. I always have some baggies or something along that line to pick up after them so even if they do go I just scoop it up and dispose of it later. I do this even if they go in the woods, as leaving it is a bit of a sore point with me

Answer 7

Train him to p**p only in your yard.

Learn his pooping times.  When it's time to p**p take him to your designated pooping spot in your yard (don't let him go everywhere) and say "Go Potty" and wait.  It may take awhile.  If he doesn't go after 5-10 minutes (you stand there the whole time) take him back inside and try again in 20-30min.  When he finally does "Go Potty" give him LOTS of praise, hugs, and kisses.  

Don't walk him when you know he has to p**p.

With enough training and patience you'll have him pooping in your own yard in no time.
