As far as eating goes, Jake has access to food, when I am home. That's in the am, at lunch, and after 5pm. He just chooses to only eat once a day, usually around my dinner time. Come to think of it, he may actually be eating while I'm asleep. That would definately lead to a full tummy/bowels in the morning.
I have to say that the thing that bothers me most, is not the poop, it's the screeching to a halt to poop. It's very jarring on my body, plus my other dog is choked by her collar. If he were better trained and we ran/walked in a place where there was less traffic, this poop issue wouldn't be such a prob. He could stop to go and then catch up with me. I could clean up on the way back.
All of the others dogs, I've had, have been trained to poop at home and at a special destination. No other place is acceptible. I'm not sure why this works with every other dog, and not him. It may just be his body or maybe he is eating at night. I may try putting the food away at night. Maybe that's the prob.
Thanks, Dixieland Dancer for all your imput. Jake thanks you, too.
