Dog Litter train 5 year old dog?

Friday, April 2nd, 2010
Sony Bravia asked:


Hello!

I have a 5 year old Pug who was crate trained, so he is trained to go outside on command.

I’ve now moved into an apartment, with a balcony, and was hoping to use a dog litter tray?

I bought a pet loo, with the artificial grass on top, and he uses that fine, but I find it isn’t very hygienic, as he loves to sleep on the artificial grass (in the corner he doesn’t *** on)! So would like to use a dog litter tray . . .

I bought a dog litter tray from Purina, but he hated stepping on the litter pellets, so I put newspaper on top of the litter. Problem is that now he likes to sleep on the newspaper, and does his business on the balcony floor (so I’m continually washing up the balcony floor). I wiped up some wee with newspaper and put that in the tray, but he will still sleep in the tray.

Has anyone had experience training their outside trained dog to use dog litter? Do you use the litter pellets or newspaper?

Thanks for your help!

How do you potty train a chihuahua?

SSZ asked:


I have a 18 week old chihuahua and cannot seem to potty train him. I have tried to use pads and he will use them when he is in an enclosed area such as the bathroom or inside his gate but he does not use the pad when he is free to roam around the house. Desperate to potty train him, I have bought the potty patch (artificial grass on a tray) but that hasn’t worked either.

I live in an apartment but I do take him outside and he knows that if he goes, he will get a treat when we go upstairs. I am desperate to find a solution because I **** to put him in the master bath when we are gone when I could just let him roam around the house all day. PLEASE HELP!!!
No I do not crate him and feel bad to do so since he would have to stay in a crate for an extended amount of time.

An indoor grass patch for my dog?

Unreal asked:


I have seen indoor artificial turf products for dogs go for 100$+. Is there a cheap way I can build one on my own? It sounds dumb but what if I just get one of those large pet trays, put down some soil and throw on some grass seeds?

I take her out 3x a day but sometimes I get home late and she had a little accident! She is well behaved most of the time, its just that sometimes she can’t hold it and I would rather she had the option of some grass than my carpet! I don’t want to crate or fence in my dog because this happens so rarely and she also gets very upset at being confined.

artificial grass in the dog run?

bubble asked:


I am planning on creating a fence to make our side yard (about 7X25) into a dog run. We have very clay like soil, and some walkway, plants on it right now and with no sun all day long. (we live in southern CA).

There is some suggestion on having rocks/compose to lay the ground. But i was reading it online on artificial grass, that will be able to drain thru (so i can wash it by flushing the urine out, but assuming have to pick up the **** still)

Anyone done this or know if it’s a good idea? My 2 dogs, (12lb maltese and 30 lbs cocker spanial mix) will be there max. of 6 hours a day (on the days i work) with the door to the garage open as well for their use.

Anyone know approximately how much it will cost? and if there is a specific brand (does the brand even make any difference?)

Thank you!

Artificial grass will cost a lot of money. I have blocked off a small area where the dogs can go potty. The grass in this area is mostly dead. I have been thinking about covering this area with mulch but I’m afraid they will dig and bring mud into the house. I also heard that it can be dangerous for pets. Does anyone have any recommendations?
