[2 toy dogs]

I'm hoping someone else has experienced this and has some insight for me.

Our 6 month old puppy (Shih Tzu-Bichon) Muffy has a strange pooping style.

She has had this since the time we got her at 8 weeks. I thought she would grow out of it. She will poop a very firm healthy and normal poop, but then instead of running back to the house, she will keep moving all around trying to drop more and all that comes out is very thin, long and mostly running smaller poops. She doesn't seem to know when to stop. I dont' know if she is forcing more out or if she really thinks she needs to go more.

I asked our vet and he checked her out, but doesn't have a clue as to why she does this.

Once in a while when she drops her 1st good poop, we clap and say all done, good girl! Then turn around and run back in the house and she'll stop and follow us. Other times she'll ignore us and keep on trying to drop more.

I just don't know if she developed this out of habit and doesn't know how to stop.
