    Also could you try mopping up any indoor puddles with an old towel/kitchen roll etc and then take this outside and put it in a spot you want him to go. Bit grim having to carry piddle-soaked cloths outside but it might encourage him that this is the place to go

    so youll put wrong facts but the call it pointless, ive looked on the links. the first one states 9000+ a year, not a exact figure nor does it mention about each and every day. thus clearly wrong facts.

    the second is concerned with over-breading and not to stop breading altogether. again misleading facts.

    but if you think it pointless why make it up in the first place.

    living in bliss.

    hi gettingready so you have now decided that your time is not to valuable. your making it up with new links. I turned it of as soon as it mentioned staffie-cross. soon youll be arguing the pointless case of poodles and whippets, and then move on to hamsters and parrots.

    the op has a bit of crap on the floor and was looking for a means to eleviate this problem. any helpful links on the such would im sure be appreciated by the op.

    I have used part of my lunch break to try to educate you. No need to say thanks, it's ok.

    OP may soon have a bigger problem on his/her hands than cleaning up after one dog.

    OP, I am actually going to answer your question instead of inventing one.

    Remember it might not just be the fact that he is accustomed to going off the lead, he is also in a new environment so might not completely be himself yet.

    Have you tried putting soiled towels in the garden that you use to clean up his wee? Obviously if this is a shared garden you would need to talk the neighbour otherwise they might think you are a bit crazy. Along with using soiled towels do you give him lots of privacy? Or would it be possible to try putting him on a stake lead in the garden and leaving him for a few minutes to see if he will then go to the loo.

    if you check youll find ive thanked you in every post, I usually do this with every one as a courtesy. however I do thank you for spending your lunch break with me, (what was on our sandwiches by the way). being one of the idol unemployed ive got nothing else better to do:rotfl:, oh yes job hunting ;).

    using my powers of deduction id say op was female.:j

    regards:beer: on me.

    WOW wasn't expecting that.... OK to clarify which I don't need to do but will to make it easier for a couple of posters.
    Male is neutered and female is not spayed yet, her vet suggested waiting for her second season to finish before going ahead with anything. She is having her second season now and NEVER allowed off the lead so no puppys in the future.
    I am doing as my vet recommended and as he is a trained expert I am going to go with his view.

    Right to the rest who did actually answer me, Crating might be an option but can't afford one right now.
    I have a flexi lead and we are doing that in the garden now, no joy.
    He can use the garden and towels etc are not a problem with the neighbours but letting him off as he wants is ,as there are other people in the block that use the garden so he can't always have it to himself.
    I will take whatever time is needed as he is staying. He is not a breeding partner , he is a forever friend so whatever I need to do to make it work I will do and I do find the jumping on people a bit over the top.

    How someone got a breeding issue from a toilet problem is beyond me but I am sure they had the best in mind.
