I blame the sun. Dogs poop in the morning and evening when owners are not at work. The sun shines from the east and from the west during these hours. And I think they don’t like facing the sun.
Time of day is addressed in the study and
was not a reliable predictor of expression of alignment
They also mention that the presence of the sun is possibly likely to affect dogs less than humans - meaning that dogs might have less aversion to facing the sun.

This doesn’t make sense. Why wouldn’t they orient west in the morning and east in the evening?
