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?

My neighbor made their dog's sandbox in the area of the electrical boxes in the backyard. They had grass, so the dog would walk on the grass into the sandy area which was surrounded with trimmed bushes. The dog was on a long leash which was fixed in the lanai and long enough to walk around the yard, so he would just sort of lead her into the sandbox and then she could walk in the yard on the fixed leash.
