My new dog, yellow lab is 3 and she is great but I noticed that in the last two days that we've had her she's pooped in the same general area of the yard, now I just need to work on moving that area further back and away from the center so no one accidentally steps in poop. She's a great dog so I think the learning process will be quick and effective. Thank You. WOW this is good stuff.

The strange thing is that instead of leaving a pile of poop in one location, they both drop bits of poop all over the place! We can't figure out why and it's really tough to clean it up. Has anyone seen something like this? How do we deal with it? Both dogs are rescue dogs. We've had one for 3 years now and the other for 2. They are great dogs in every other respect. Help!

My 9 week old boxer seems to dislike the potty area and sits and longingly stares at the rest of the yard. If I have him on a leash, he will happily poo anywhere in the yard BUT the potty spot. I am so frustrated. I have tried putting his poo in the potty spot, he could not care less. It breaks my heart to see him so sad and he is starting to dislike being on the leash because all we do is go to the potty spot to wait for him to poo. He would rather sit in his crate. Any advice is appreciated. Is there any other tip to help make the puppy want to poo in the potty spot??

YOU DO NOT WANT TO MAKE IT TOO CONCENTRATED . IF YOUR DOG URINATES ON CARPET, FOLD A BATH TOWEL IN FOURTHS, PUT IT OVER THE SPOT AND STAND ON IT. THIS GETS MOST OF THE URINE. NOW POUR THE DILUTED SHAMPOO ON THE SPOT AND RUB IT IT. ITS ALRIGHT TO DRENCH THE SPOT(DOWN TO THE PADDING) BECAUSE NOW YOU WILL TAKE SEVERAL FOLDED TOWELS, STAND ON THEM ON THE SPOT. THE WETNESS WILL BE ABSORBED BY THE TOWELS AND ABSOLUTELY NO SCENT OF URINE WILL REMAIN.

A happy guy. We think he is about 1 year old and he is house-broken. I walk him about 4 times a day and he gets lots of exercise outside. He has a weird habit of squatting down to poop and constantly turning in a circle while he is doing his business and sniffing the ground. I have had several dogs in my life, and none of them have exhibited such a strange "dance" while pooping. Do you have any suggestions for reigning in this behavior? It is weird looking and the dog is always stepping in his own poop and the poop is spread around all over the place making it difficult to pick up (a plop here, a drop there). Any ideas to stop the dance so he can poop in one spot like most dogs? Please help, Barry My wife and I have just rescued a bichon/poodle mix and he is a great little dog. A happy guy.

We pick up daily but really, it would be a whole lot nicer to walk in the lawn by the play equipment and not pick up anything else, if you know what I mean. We have a mastiff that is very well potty trained at 9 weeks. I will hope to train her to one area. Thanks for all the advice.

My dog pops in the one area at home but it’s on the grass where my children play, today I’m going to attempt to get her to start using the concreted area down the side of the house. Georgie is 8, adorable but a handful when we go for a walk. She gets really nervous and either is constipated or gets the runs, it’s impossible to pick up. I’ve spent a fortune on training but she just isn’t good socially, she is constantly on the look out for other dogs and nearly yanks my arm off to get to them when she sees one. Its so frustrating! I know she just wants to socialise but if the other dog growls she attacks, if the other dog is quiet she’ll pull me over to it, sniff and show whose boss then let me walk on. She’d be a perfect dog if she pooped on the concrete, played nice with other dogs and picked up after herself when we go for a walk!! Thank you for some wonderful tips!

She will run there to go poop, but always poops in exactly the same spot. But recently she resist going to the bathroom at all there. She will hold it and pee little amounts inside the house. She will go poop there if it's a must, but would prefer going on a walk. It stinks horribly, any ideas for that? Also, she will pee in her kennel occasionally. The kennel is not too big for her, although it was too big when she was in it as a puppy. Are we just too late? We have trained our dog to use one spot for a bathroom.
