Why does my dog do a poo dance?
When we walk him, if he needs to go poo he will walk around in a circle (almost like dogs do before going to sleep), but more in a figure of 8 motion! He sometimes does it for ages and people stop to look at him!!
Does anyone elses dogs do this, or have any idea why??

It's a little unusual that he does it in such a small pattern, but this "dance" is something every dog does. Most of them spread it out a bit more though as they search for the perfect spot.

They are looking for a spot with a specific smell. My dog does it too. The vet says it's perfectly normal..he's just looking for the right spot.

It's normal, my dog does it.
It is just to familarize themselves with the area around them, and to make sure it smells right before they poo on it.

My dog does this all the time! I know when he is going to go by it! I think its totally normal so i wouldnt worry. Perhaps he just likes to pick his spot!

My dog used to circle for ages in public now he only does that in the garden! now he's to embarrassed to crap in public and has to go in a bush! you have to wait for the little sod to finish!

i think most dogs probably do that for about 3 seconds or so...maybe they are trying to find the perfect place to go?
