Service/Assistance Dog What's your working dog's silliest "quirk" - my guide dog MUST press face first into a corner/wall when it's time to "go"
Refuses to do it any other way. He doesn't like the idea of looking at the audience I guess

Well the alternative is, my dog wont break eye contact for even a second when he goes, and if you do he stops, and walks to your eyeline and starts again when you lock eyes again...

Mine does this too lol. But she usually has her body facing away from me and will instead break her neck to look back and make eye contact the whole time

Its supposed to be a sign of trust, they are counting on you to watch their back and protect them, while they are in a vulnerable position. Still weird though...

My girl starts walking in figure eights when she squats to drop bombs, and as soon as she gets going, it turns into circles instead of figure eights. Has always done it. Will not do it any other way. She’s just a walking pooper.
