Pick winter or when its cold outside. Stand at the door and call her in once, and wait a while. Call a second time, if she does not respond close the door and continue until the fun is over and she is fully miserable. Open the door as if you are going outside for some normal task. Do not talk to her or scold her. She will want to come in and it will be her idea that it is not good to stay out after being called. Its a thought..
None of my dogs have ever “taken care of business” whilst out for a walk. They’ve always saved it ‘til they’ve got home to the back yard.
One day I picked up one from the vets (after she’d been kept in overnight, following an operation) and she’d been holding it all night and gave me such an apologetic look whilst she had a p** in the gutter.
My Barty boy claims the whole neighborhood for himself and catches up on pee-mail during our walks. (I always bring a plastic bag for cleanup.) I figure the walks are more for his pleasure than for mine.

You can’t argue with 150 pounds of “I don’t wanna”!

And where is the “poop bag” that Ben took along to gather his dog’s leavings from a neighbor’s yard?
