I have no doubt dogs recognize magnetic north, but was not aware of a tendency to observe it during elimination.

You've just added another dimension to my poop-scooping
Re: Say What? Dogs Poop Facing North?
Previously I never paid attention to which direction they face, this morning I did. If you want to go to magnetic north, do not take cues from my directionally challenged dogs. They faced from southwest to northwest, none true north. It is interesting, for this morning at least, none of the 6 faced east, but there was an easterly breeze. Which I think was determinate, always go with the wind to your back was my Grandfather's advice.

Neil, are you telling me that moss doesn't only grow on the north side of tree?
Re: Say What? Dogs Poop Facing North?
I grew up in the Ozarks, moss grow in the shade, in deep woods all around the tree.
Re: Say What? Dogs Poop Facing North?
Nobody has told my dogs that.

My dogs always poop upwind of the truck whenever we first get to a hunting spot. They face into the wind.

I'd have to say its a load of baloney. My dog poops twice a day and being in town I'm always out there with him. He faces a different way each time.

My boy is a creeper…he sweeps the entire azimuth each time he "takes care of business."
Re: Say What? Dogs Poop Facing North?
My dog likes to back up to the stockade fence and poop on it. I have poop on all sides of my fence except the south side. This is BS my dog poops ever direction but north.
Re: Say What? Dogs Poop Facing North?
My GSP's poop north, but my ACD poops south

Maybe he needs to be recalibrated. Hold him level, and turn around twice, not too fast. Just right. Calibration completeCDN_Cocker wrote:I'd have to say its a load of baloney. My dog poops twice a day and being in town I'm always out there with him. He faces a different way each time.

I think I need to apply for a multi million dollar federal grant to get to the bottom of this. I will be hiring you all as research assistants.

LOL I'll have to try this. He has a horrible habit of having to face me while taking a big smash. Zero shame.shags wrote:Maybe he needs to be recalibrated.

They both did exactly that very thiñg this morning. The guy hunting with me thinks they are trying to tell me something... He laughs every timeNeil wrote:hettmoe wrote:My dogs always poop upwind of the truck whenever we first get to a hunting spot. They face into the wind.

Re: Say What? Dogs Poop Facing North?
I can debunk this. I read this on one of the sites a while back so for like a week I monitored the direction Max was facing while eliminating and for him there was no rhyme or reason.
He may have flung the turd north when he did that kick out at the end.
