This is a VERY good and unique question!
Most dogs go to the bathroom wherever they please…sometimes where you DON'T want them to.
But dogs like a Teddyhilton.com reader's labs can be a little gun shy.
She writes:
I have labrador retrievers. I kept the only litter my lab had, meaning, I have 5 brothers and sisters who are turning 3 in a few weeks. Two girls, three boys, and none of them will ever do anything outside their backyard. It is kind of a pain since every day I take one for a 4-miles-walk, and they need so bad to go to the bathroom, but they will wait until they go home.
What can I do? My daughter is soon going to move out with the two girls, and I have no clue how to teach anyone to urinate for instance outside their comfort zone. I can say the magic word "pee" a thousand times, they won't do it. They will do it if I say it at home in their yard.
I raised my other labs the same way, and it was never an issue. Just with my 5 labs litter!
Help!
