Boxer dogs and poop troubles!

[Steviepie]

:oops: Help doggie lovers!! I have just got my backyard lawn looking absolutely fantastic,all set for bar b q season,but my 2 beloved Boxers still insist on doing their poop right in the middle of it! And two Boxers make a lot of poop!I hose it away,or carry is away on a shovel,but they keep right on at it>Any ideas how i can persuade them to do it in the corner of the yard,where i have prepared a nice little area for this purpose??Probably many dogs do this,how do i stop them!?! :drinking: Cheers,Steve.

well here's what i would do . . .

everytime they need to go outside to potty or poo take them on leash over to the prepared spot. no potty/poo no freedom in yard. if they do go where you want then have a party and hand out a 'shrimp from the barbie' heehee. once someone goes in the spot it will be easier to designate that area as the toilet. i think you can even buy stuff to put down to encourage them to go in a certain place. we put down mulch or sawdust and my two seem to love it. the love it even more when we put down fresh mulch they race to christen it!

What she said. It's almost like house training all over again but before you taught them to go in the yard now you're going to teach them to go in a paticular spot.

Guess Im lucky, our two girls have their own "spot" in the garden to go to and always go to the same place.

Grass/garden - you have grass in your garden with two Boxers? :lol: Mine is slowly but surely becoming one earthy muddy mess........... :o

Caitlin[/quote] :) Yes,the grass really does look great,maybe its all that Boxer poo fertilizing it!!!!! I cannot mow when they are outside,they both bite the wheels of the push mower,and carry on like clowns.Do your two Boxers clown around a lot,do they dig holes? Mine stoped diging holes,so thats one thing to be grateful for Cheers,Steve :)
