Any help? we are VERY SLOWLY changing his food to a more complete dry mix, but it is still happening.

The other thing is that even though he will now poo and wee out side when we go on our walks, he will still only have "dribbles" of poo/dioreah (how ever you spell it!) but have propper poos when in doors! is this just a work in progress? the weather? change in situation? or just max being max??!!! Help - first dog - still dont know whats normal and whats not!!! Thanks, Helen
