Our dog is a black lab. On walks he does as you say - a little at a time.
In the garden (on the lawn) he squats like a bitch and does it all in one
place :-( Our last black lab (dog) did the same.

The /only/ effective treatment that I know of is to have a bucket of water to hand
by the door, follow her out and chuck the water where she's been.

We do that but it's a total waste of time - dunno why we bother - they have
free access to the garden when we don't do it :-(
