| Any ideas? Tucker always goes outside to potty first thing in the morning when he wakes up. This morning I tried to take him out and he runs right back into the house. We got 2-3 inches of snow last night and I think it initially scared him, so I used a broom to sweep off the porch area and a small patch of grass. Still no luck. He normally will run out when I open the door to go potty but if that fails I can carry him out to go. Neither of these are working. It's almost 11:00 here now and he's not gone potty since around 10:00 last night. I know he must need to go, but he's just lying on the couch next to me. Any ideas? |

| We haven't mastered the walk yet. He doesn't like the leash and is SCARED to death of new places so he doesn't want anything to do with a walk. He slept with me last night and we came right downstairs and straight to the door to go potty. I opened it, he walked onto the porch area, got snow on his feet and ran right back in. Since then, I've carried him outside 3-4 times and he just lays down until I let him back in the house. I've been back over the house 3-4 times seeing if he's gone anywhere but so far, it looks like he hasn't. |

| Is this his first snow? If it is, he's probably scared of the strange cold wet stuff! Eventually he'll have to go bad enough
