Dogs can sense magnetic field lines, and spin to try and face north when pooping to use the poo as a sort of way point.

Weird wonders of the word
Season 1 episode 2
About halfway through the episode. It's on Netflix.

Now I'm watching a story about a blind guy that's blind who has trained himself to echolocate well enough to ride bicycles and accurately describe places and objects without touching them. They did an MRI on him and found out the part of his brain that normally deals with sight was instead helping process sound into a visual representation. The coolest part is he wasn't like a mutant or anything, anyone could do it.

They didn't say, but probably the same reason. They will usually face north when pooping. The exception is during solar flares, high voltage power lines, and squirrels.

From what I understand, dogs that do it in their own yard repeatedly are basically just stupid
