My partner and I decided to adopt a modern puppy last week, and she is absolutely driving myself and others crazy.
She is only 6 weeks old, and she is still potty training.
I can get her to go outside to pee and poop, but she keeps squatting right next to the A/C unit. yesterday alone, I stepped in a pile of poop twice. One of those times, I was performing routine service on the A/C unit. I was using the leaf blower to remove the tree and leaf debris from the A/C unit. Every one of us had a tremendous storm and a lot of tree foliage fell in the backyard. I was using the leaf blower and did not even see the giant pile of dog poop right next to the A/C unit. I stepped in the pile, and tracked the stuff all over the side of the deck. I have to find a way to keep the puppy from going to the lavatory on the concrete deck. I guess she prefers to play in the sod, and I don’t understand why she will not use the lavatory there. If I have to walk her on a leash, then she will lose out on play time in the backyard. She likes to play Under the yellow tree and drink from the pool. She prefers to kneel in the Sun, and play by the palm trees. I want her to have fun playing outside, although I need to train her to use the sod, leaves, and dirt.
