we have only one dog that is the official pee-er. She is very thorough.

when she first came home

Can't offer much advice except to say keep at it. I take mine out every 30 minutes when I'm home. It's disarming how much your bubba looks like my tuffy!

he is just being spoiled, Rocky does this sopmetimes, so I just point him in the right direction and tell ge poop, it takes thre or four times but he goes, He is not going because you dont make him go, it can be maddening

Does he have a rain coat and hat? Maybe he needs to be properly attired before going out, hehehe!

Cleo always pees on the sidewalk or porch if it's raining. She hates getting her feet wet. Norbert was the same way. He would put his front feet in the wet grass and pee on the sidewalk. I guess he though 2 feet was good enough.

They are funny dogs and your boy has you right where he wants you

I have neighbors that I walk with, and sometimes I ask them to come over and take him outside when I vacuum becuz he HATES the vacuum and he stays right at the door! He wont go with anyone but me! He wont even go with my ex, his dad!!! He loves going to his house, but he wont get into the car with him, he never ever wants to leave me....I think its the cold weather or laziness......Stubborn and cold? I hope I dopnt go home and find a nice suprise on the carpet rather than the pad!

Unfortunately, it sounds like he doesn't want to go for you. Maybe if someone else took him out...


I don't rescue animals because I want to feel better about myself, or morally superior to anyone. The best part of my life with animals is the humility they teach and the humanity the foster.

He will go walking if I call my neighbor and ask her to go with us. Or if he sees someone else walking by, he will go. Not in the rain though!

most dogs like to mark over where other dogs go. We have pee-off's here.

Belle pees. Bentley pees on her pee. Junior pees on that and then Bentley has to pee on the same spot again.

Teddy goes out and sniffs the pee and makes a face and tiptoes away looking for a clean pee free spot.

Maybe I should send him to you for some lesson learning!!! Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it. I never thought of pushing him rather than pulling, I will try that for sure!!!

Get behind him and push, rather than pulling. Teddy will only walk if he can lead the way. He's so funny.


Try pushing and not saying anything.

Maybe pack his bags and send him to Grandma. Or me! I love Bubba!

Bubba hates the cold and rain......Im not sure its horse urine, the lady said it was strong and it should work.

PLEASE!!!! poor bubba~~~lol

you could try to get one of those indoor grass (faux) potty boxes. They are advertised in some dog catalogs , but tend to be spendy. My Ollie didn't want to go outside today either. Everything is coated with heavy ice and he's a prissy about getting his paws wet or dirty! All the troops had a hard time staying upright enough to do their business LMAO!

He Won't go!!!! he just sits or stands there and I have to pull him...I Dont like pulling on him, and he is just sooo stuborn!!!!I have picked him up in the past to move him.....

shall I send you some? LOL

Say nothing, NOT A WORD, while you put his collar on him and take him outside. Don't talk to him. I know this will be difficult, but ignore him. Act uninterested and bored. When you get downstairs tell him, "Go potty" and turn away and ignore him. Then after he goes pee, tell him to "Go poop" (if that's what you call it) and wait again.

I think since he gets lots of praise and attention normally, I would not praise him if he goes. I'd just pick it up and take him back inside.

Not positive but the lady at the feed store told me that it wors well.....some kind of very strong smelling urine, maybe cow? lol I will have to read the label!!1

but never would I dream of putting horse urine on them! I haven't heard of that. My dogs stay way the heck away from the areas my horses pee in....not sure why it would work on a pad??
