How to get my dog to stop pooping in tall grass due to snakes?

Question

Will only poop in tall grass. Which hasn't necessarily been an issue. He will ONLY poop in tall grass or he won't at all. But snakes. There are just snakes everywhere this year. And I saw snake skin today in the only grass where Spock will poop. It TERRIFIED me. What can I do to get him to poop elsewhere? I desperately want to keep him safe and also have him poop without it being the biggest struggle ever. He'll go in any tall grass but I can't keep a decent lookout for snakes. Any advice thanks. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | unneutered | 1 year and 5 months old | 55 lbs

You can restrict his area to a location where the grass is cut. You can leash walk him in the areas you prefer until he gets used to going in those areas only. When the weather cools the snakes become less active so there will be less moving around
