Guide dogs have planned eating schedules (and thus, planned pooping schedules) -- and guide dog owners know when their dog has to go. Also, guide dogs can be trained how to poop (either on a piece of paper, or in a special spot). My friend has a companion dog, she's never had an accident -- and she takes her dog on trips that last 18 - 24 hours - by plane half way around the world, with the companion dog at her feet. Her dog can tell when it's the wrong time to drink water or eat, or go to the bathroom. She's never had a problem with this.

Like parsley, the dogs have a schedule, and the owners incorporate their schedules into the dogs.

When the dog pauses in circling the handler follows the leash and feels the dogs back. We are trained to know what the dogs back should feel like when it's doing a number one or two (there is a difference) If the dog is pooping we run our hand down the dog's back to just above it's tail and then we point our foot twoard the dog's bum. Once the dog is finish it will usually move away, then you put your hand in a bag and feel along the ground in a straight line from your toe. Once ou find what you are looking for you pick it up turn the bag rightside out and your done. It's really simple I've never had a problem picking up after my guide dog.
