My Chihuahua mix has suddenly become very picky where she will potty. She'll #1 pretty much as soon as we get outside, but when it comes to #2 she has to have just the right spot. My other dog goes when she feels she needs to. I can tell that Cookie needs to go, she will sniff around and squat like she going to go, then at the last minute she'll change her mind. She's not constipated, cause when she goes, it comes out fine and a normal consistency.
I don't know if it's because she thinks we will go home if she goes and she doesn't want to, or she just doesn't like the smell of the spot. I try to keep their walks to about 15 minutes until after sunset, then we'll go for a play/exercise walk. We live in Florida and they are both small dogs, I fear for their health staying out too long, and she always seems so hot when we come back in.
Anyone else have a picky potty pooch? I don't like to make her hold it longer, but I also don't want to over heat her keeping her outside longer when it's almost 100 degrees and the sun is beating down on the ground.
