    I understand it is to camouflage their own smell. Consistent punishment seems to be the best way of avoiding it.

    That said, our current dog will do it all the same if we are not paying attention. I think he does it to annoy us. Off course, afterwards he will get a shower, which he hates, but by then he has probably forgotten his disobedience, so it doesn't help in preventing it.

    I was walking my mum's boyfriend's dog. I turned my back for a second and she (she is a Welsh border collie) was rolling around, I thought "oh she rolling around" and continued waking. Then she started it again and I noticed that she was covered in poo, it looked fresh as well.

    hm my dog has never done that before, so I take it my dog's the exeption ?

    Or maybe it's just because he's really stupid, or he misses those particular genes...

    My dogs don't roll around in other dog's poo, only that of other animals like horses and cows. They also enjoy rolling inn anything that is dead, a few examples are deer, skunk, and fish. It is next to impossible to stop them from doing this, although if you are around yelling at them can get them to stop for a while.
