Dogs decision on where to poop?

Most of the decision is based on scent. Dogs typically try to avoid places that they consider to be their 'den' (which hopefully includes your entire house), any well-travelled paths, and generally anywhere that smells like it's used for other activities. They try to find places near where they or other dogs have pooped before, the borders of their 'territory', and any other location where they feel it's likely to be smelled by other dogs but not accidently stepped on.
