A question for pet owners

28-07-2004, 20:52

Does anybody know how I can get my dog to poo in my garden? He will only relieve himself whilst he has been taken out the house completely. He must regard the garden as the home - he was well trained not to excrete within the home.

Anybody have any ideas as to how I can make him realise that it's fine to poo in the garden?

How can I word this....
monkey see, monkey do

Seriously though you may have to be cruel to be kind and restrict the dog to the garden till it learns that you aren't going to get mad if it messes in the garden confines.

One thing you could try is put the lead on then walk the doggy round the garden.

Good idea, I'll try it in the morning. Thanks for the suggestion.

You could always invite other dogs from the neighbourhood into your garen to do their stuff. He might then become territorial and mark his land accordingly.

When he does his stuff somewhere, collect some & put it in a certain corner of you garden, when you take the dog out to do his stuff there, have it on a lead & lead it to that corner.

Eventually it might get the idea that thats "poo corner".

dogs tend to follow what their owners do - so I suggest you take to using your garden as a toilet with the dog watching.

I could say something here, but I'll leave that for you to work out.
