I gave up a fence to get a view. It's my responsibility to disallow her to go on other's property. I have some pine straw, not mulch, in front and she's ok with that for a whiz, but prefers to go off site for pooping.
I have a suggestion: ask other neighbors with dogs to have an agreement that you use each other's yards, after your dogs have done the first grass-killing pee in their own yard.
The dog doesn't get out of the fence to use the neighbor's yard, I'm just saying that when she is out front of our house she always tries to go over there and I always have to redirect her back to me. She seems drawn to pine straw.
I know she doesn't like rock-I don't even like walking on it so I can't expect her to do it. The idea of a little sandbox area is sounding creative to me because I don't like the idea of bringing ticks into my yard with pine straw. I have cats that are in the lanai and the ticks could very easily get to them too. So, what do the dogs seem to like walking on besides grass and pine straw so I have an idea of what to put in the area leading to the sandbox? Do any of your dogs like to walk on the pea pebbles? Anything else?
