Don't dogs do some of the strangest things? Rolling in feces, though, is really very common. Possibly a dog's ancient instinct to mask his scent, which would then enable the animal to sneak up on their prey without detection. Even if your dog does not hunt, she may not like the way that she smells-especially if you've just given her a bath! Or she just likes the smell of the feces.
But since the smell of poop is not as pleasing to your family as it is to your dog, I have a few suggestions:
1) You might keep her on a leash so that she can't roll in other dog's poop.
2) Pick up her poop up in the yard as soon as she does it.
3) You could also try pairing something unpleasant with her actions of rolling in poop, such as squirting her with a water bottle. OR a blast from one of those personal safety device airhorns (your neighbors might not appreciate this). OR get a citronella spraying collar with a remote spray capability. Dogs strongly dislike the smell of citronella, and this spray comes from the collar, under their chin and up toward their nose.

∙ 13y agoMost any dog likes to roll in any feces, be it a dogs or not. I can't say exactly why they do it, but the main theory is either an old instinct to hide scent for hunting, or to advertise to the rest of the pack.

Why are dogs perverted?
If you are referring to the humping behavior seen in dogs, not related to male-to-female mating, it is honestly not what you think. In dogs and other mammals, it is nothing more than a dominant gesture. Dogs are not perverted, it is simply a strange dog term. "I'm over you, I'm dominant over you," is what it means.
