We solved the pet bathroom dilemma by installing invisible fencing. I had previously thought it was cruel. I've been delighted with the whole process. It isn't cruel and works like charm. If you want, I can tell you more.

I will check with the ARC about this. If it's a rule, it's a rule. However, I don't understand what difference it makes if they are using the doing their business in the yard or in the lanai.
You can have the Turf put in with a drainage mat over concrete, but that seems less sanitary then the rock and soil. hmmmmm
I was also under the impression that you could do as you wanted in the back you were only restricted in the front so that brings up something else I was unaware of.
One suggestion on this forum was someone who stopped the lanai about five feet to the end and then put in mulch and plants for their dogs... Could that be another option or would that be against the rules?
I'm concerned about the invisible fences as it keeps your dogs in, but not the predators out. Up north we have issues with the wild animals (including birds) getting in our yards and having our dogs for lunch.
