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.

lol I haven't the heart to do that... he scratches the door and whimpers

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.

To get back on topic :)

Try fenceing off part of the garden, and put him in there at the times you would normally take him for a walk. After a day or two he'll get the idea.
The other big advantage is that all the doings are in one place saving you having to search the whole garden (and you always miss some) when you clean up, not a pleasant job if you have to miss a day or two.

People say its not best to do this but i find it works for my pup as he is all most house trained.

I thought the plan was to -make- him poo in the garden, not teach him not to...

Do you have a word you used to train him to "piddle"

When we trained our dog we walked around in the garden with her often in circles (they seem to do that before they do) and said piddle. She go the hang of it.

Than put him outside I did forget to say. :dozey:

Just to point out I have had 2 dogs in my life time all of which have been obedient and happy. ;)

A happy dog is a trained dog :)

I've always used "Be quick". Not that I object to the word "piddle" (or any variant) it's just our first dog was trained "The Woodhouse Way" (that was a good programme for training dogs - they should release it on DVD), and we have stuck with it..
