can't find a place to poop

[tootsie]

It seems that within the last week or so, my 5 yr old Lab can't find a suitable place to poop. She will pace and run to a spot, then dart out to find another one. This goes on for a few minutes or less. She was never this fussy before. She always seems to want to go by a fence, but, she never took to long to find a place to go even if it wasn't by a fence. Any suggestions?

Hi,

Sometimes it takes my beagle ages to find the perfect spot - usually when its raining and cold and I just want to go indoors! On a serious note it could be a sign of constipation rather than fussiness - you might want to take her for a checkup if it is a problem that persists or if she does not seem to be going regularly.
