# Walking after Rain

My Takumi hates walking after rain when the ground is still wet. He's been like this since he was a puppy. It's been raining here in Miami since last night. I tried to take him outside when the rain stopped and managed to make him pee, but he hasn't pooped for 24hrs now! He shakes himself off as so…

I tried to take him outside when the rain stopped and managed to make him pee, but he hasn't pooped for 24hrs now! He shakes himself off as soon as we get in the house, as if he had been walking in the rain, which is not true!! Is this only my dog?

Our Dachshund Belle is the exact same way... we can usually lure her onto the grass with a treat and then she'll do her thing. I have a house full of picky poopers, it's kind of ridiculous...

Thanks, Kaddy! I used a ball to lure him out and it worked. It was a simple thing. Thanks! We just came back from long walk. There are lots of fallen palm leaf and coconuts after storm here in Florida, which are his favorite street toys. He had a lot of fun.
