Trust Jimmy to be different .......... he won't do poos in peoples' gardens at all, no matter how desperate he is he waits for a walk.... not very patiently though, he'll make sure I know. :roll: Misty aint fussy though, anywhere will do.
The usual advice given , Phil, is to take a bit of soiled paper/puppy pad with you to the park and encourage the pup to using that as a signal of what's expected. I suppose it must be confusing for them, first they are told to use paper, then encouraged to go in the garden..... just as they get the hang of that we ask them to use the park.
I remember taking a wee stained sheet of newspaper to the park for Jimmy, laying it out flat and using his toileting instruction which was "come on, on the paper".... I didn't half get some funny looks. :oops: I learnt my lesson second time round, using the phrase "hurry up" for Misty from day one. If you use a phrase like this to Honey every time she does a wee/poo in the garden she will quickly make the association for when you say it in the park.... well hopefully.
