Dennis Jones Webboard User Reg: 06-13-2004 Posts: 3389 Loc: Richmond Va Offline	Are shepherd dogs more "where I crap" conscious? I just seems to me they were a lot easier to house train. I recall growing up hounds would crap any where but all my shepherd go for as far as they can from the house and kennels.

But he is a dog that tends to 'defalt' to originaly learned behaviors. My female has several places that she likes to go. One of my other males was like he is & stayed in the same place I took him as a pup. My other male was like my female with several places he'd go. But overall my male is a PIG. Maybe it's just a boy thing. But all my males have just been messier, sloppier, droolier etc then my female is. MY DOGS...MY RULES

My male will go wherever. I think part of it was the fact he was raised as a kennel dog so that was what he learned. K-9 Knitter

One wont even crap in the kennel run and is particular about the spot in the yard where he will go. He wouldn't step on his or another dog's mess to save his life. The other not only goes anywhere but dances around when he does it and stomps all over it. He could care less. it's an individual behavior not a breed behavior! old dogs LOVE to learn new tricks

Tresa Hendrix Webboard User Reg: 05-08-2008 Posts: 1473 Loc: Alaska Offline	My dutchie will stop and crap while I am biking with him WITHOUT WARNING, just "stop and dump" right in the middle of the street or path, no matter what speed we are going he'll just stop. I even had to stand there and wait while a car was stopped also waiting. A tired dog is a good dog, a trained dog is a better dog.
