Question:I have a male boxer dog, and everytime I take him for a walk he has to poo like 10 times and it gets looser and looser untill he seems like he is going but nothing is coming out. I know this sounds grose but, Im just concered about him, when I take him outside he just goes once, and comes back in the house and never never has accidents in the house, its ONLY when I take him for walks. Thank you so much for answering my question.

I had the same problem with my first Rottie and had the vet check him out. He told me that when some dogs get hot their stool gets looser so as he warmed up and panted he had loose poop. I now have a Choc field bred Lab who goes to the dog park and he always has a firm stool at home and the first time he goes at the park. I use a tennis ball launcher and after 20 mins of pure running he gets hot and his stool gets looser. As soon as they cool down everything goes back to normal, I guess it is just an idiosyncrasy some dogs have. They are the only 2 dogs I've had or known about that did it. But the vet said it was not that uncommon.
He is marking. Totally normal. Just letting the other dogs know he is around.
Thats normal his butting his marks down..
I think he is smelling where other dogs have marked their scent and he is reciprocating! Usually they do it with urine but.different strokes for different pooches!
he must be marking his terf to let other dogs know that hes the boss over here
He might have eaten something that is slowly going through his system. My sister's puppy ate the stuffing from a toy and almost died. A trip to the vet and $1200 later he's crapping exactly as your describing. Maybe your dog has eaten something similar.
He is fine in your own yard because it is his territory, and well established. When you take him for walks, he poos to try to mark new territory ... and take over the realm of other dogs who have marked there (whether by urine or poo) .. The poo has nothing to do with digestion ... its "power". So far as how to stop this behaviour .. I'm no specialist. Speak to your vet or a dog trainer. I'm sure there are ways to train him out of this practice.
you should take him to vet for a consultation, maybe he needs some drugs, you can give some natural pork bones or oatflakes, it may help
check out this sight it is a website about large intestine disorders that are found in dogs. Thry can get a variety of them and boxers frequently get them. I've seen an increase in Irratable Bowel syndrom in boxers and mastiff type breeds

Boxers tend to have sensitive stomachs, but I would ask your vet .
Next I would look at his food.what is he eating...changing his food may well be the answer, it has been for several of my dogs.
Not every dog can eat the same food, one of my boys can only eat Eagle Pack Anchovy and Sardine, while the rest are on Canidae, mixed with the Eagle Pack. Trial and error sometimes is the only way, to find out which food sits best with your dog.
Check the label on your food ...if corn is in the top 3 ingredients, that is probably the problem.
Your local Pet Food store can help you find the right one for your dog and most of them have free samples they can give you to try out.
Dogs don't normally poo when scent marking. As it is only when exercising, I think you should get it checked, but not worry! Try and get him to poo before you go for a walk. I know, easier said than done! But that way, he wont feel he needs to go.
When my black Lab started to do this I found out that his anal glands needed to be expressed.
