Stop your dog rollin’ in its own poo and pee

🧠 Why Dogs Roll in Their Own Poo or Pee Instinctive Behavior (Scent Masking) In the wild, wolves and other canines would roll in strong smells—like feces or carcasses—to mask their scent from predators or prey. Your dog may still carry this ancestral habit, even if it makes no sense in a suburban backyard. Marking or Familiarization Dogs communicate heavily through scent. By rolling in their own waste, they may be trying to "own" that smell or bring it back to their pack (you). Attention-Seeking If your dog notices that rolling in poop gets a strong reaction from you, they may repeat it as a way to get attention—good or bad. Boredom or Stress Lack of stimulation can lead to odd behaviors, including poop-rolling. It could also be a sign your dog is anxious or not getting enough mental or physical exercise.

🧠 Why Dogs Roll in Their Own Poo or Pee

  1. Instinctive Behavior (Scent Masking)
    In the wild, wolves and other canines would roll in strong smells—like feces or carcasses—to mask their scent from predators or prey. Your dog may still carry this ancestral habit, even if it makes no sense in a suburban backyard.
  2. Marking or Familiarization
    Dogs communicate heavily through scent. By rolling in their own waste, they may be trying to “own” that smell or bring it back to their pack (you).
  3. Attention-Seeking
    If your dog notices that rolling in poop gets a strong reaction from you, they may repeat it as a way to get attention—good or bad.
  4. Boredom or Stress
    Lack of stimulation can lead to odd behaviors, including poop-rolling. It could also be a sign your dog is anxious or not getting enough mental or physical exercise.

✅ How to Stop It

1. Clean It Up Immediately

The most effective way to stop the behavior is to remove the temptation. Pick up poo and absorb/clean pee as soon as your dog goes. Products like Ecopawz Cleanup powder can help you quickly absorb and neutralize pee and poo so there’s nothing left to roll in.

💡 Pro Tip: Keep a small cleanup pouch or scoop with you on walks or in the backyard.

2. Train a “Leave It” or “Come” Command

Use basic obedience to redirect your dog before they get to the waste. Train them with positive reinforcement:

  • Say “Leave it!” when they approach poop
  • Reward them for walking away or responding to “Come!”

Over time, they’ll associate avoiding their waste with praise or treats.

3. Limit Off-Leash Time Until Behavior Improves

If your dog tends to roll when left unsupervised, keep them on a lead or long line in the yard until the habit fades.

4. Use Deterrent Scents (if needed)

Some dogs avoid citrus, vinegar, or strong essential oils (like eucalyptus). After cleaning up, you can lightly spray a dog-safe deterrent scent in frequent accident zones to discourage sniffing and rolling.

5. Increase Mental and Physical Stimulation

Tired dogs are less likely to engage in weird behaviors. Add more:

  • Walks and play sessions
  • Puzzle toys or treat challenges
  • Training games or scent work

6. Rule Out Medical Causes

If your dog seems obsessed with its waste or is also eating poop (coprophagia), talk to a vet. Parasites, malabsorption, or dietary deficiencies could be at play.

🐾 Final Thought

While rolling in pee or poo may be natural for dogs, that doesn’t mean you have to live with it. With a mix of consistent cleanup, training, and environmental management, you can break the habit and keep your dog (and your house) cleaner and happier.
