I tried a technique that Victoria Stillwell had on her show once. She trained the owners to get the dogs to go in one particular area in the yard. She put up a small fence to illustrate to the dogs that they must go behind that fence. The way to do it is to take them out on a leash to that spot every time they have to go and wait until they go there. She says after 4 weeks I think it was, that they will automatically just go there.
Let's just say after a month or so of pure dedication of doing this with Lucky, we failed! I can't believe I wasted so much time doing this. I couldn't have done a better job but poor Lucky just didn't want to go in that area I guess.
Dog Rocks - still reading about them. Seems good. I might try it. Does anyone think it might be bad??
