I see what you're getting at LG, but Blue's toileting is not something I can predict, really. I have him out in the garden first thing, occasionally poop happens, more often than not just wee. He has ample opportunity to go before we set out on our walk.
Usually poop occurs on the favoured spot; the hallowed turf in the centre of the village, but some days he will just randomly squat in the gutter. It seems to be something that he has little warning of, and when it's on the way there's no holding it.
Pleased to say, since I've been baking my own training treats, the messy poops have stopped, and he loves them, so behaviour continues to improve. He is raw fed at mealtimes and I would not want to stop giving him that to only give him training treats, although I can see the logic in that method.
