Why does a dog take a long time to find a place to go to the toilet: 4 reasons

It's a familiar situation when early in the morning on a day off the owner takes the dog out and waits for the pet to quickly do its business. Then you can return home and go to bed.
But before choosing a toilet place, the pet sniffs something for a long time, thinks and performs a whole series of exercises.
Everything is explainable, and the owner has no choice but to figure out the reasons for the dog’s oddities.
Reason one: the dog is getting ready
At the very least, the pet should relax at such moments, and if something is alarming him, then he will clearly not be up to the toilet.
Anything can affect your mood, especially loud and harsh sounds.
Reason two: personal preferences
Even in this case, the dog can show character. Not every dog will dare to relieve itself while sitting in a snowdrift or among puddles and mud.
Reason three: territory
Dogs communicate through smells. It is possible that, having smelled the scent of a foreign animal, a dog will consider encroachment on someone else's territory a dangerous maneuver and will go in search of a place unoccupied by its relatives.
Reason four: activity
Consider the character and characteristics of the breed. Some dogs are so active and curious that when they go outside, they want to do everything: run, sniff, play and simply forget about the most important thing.
