I was having the same problem....

I have a 5 year old female in full coat. When I brought her home 4 months ago... I would have the same potty problem. She would go potty and it would stick to her hair. What a mess! Not to mention she wasn't happy about it either. So I went to the store and bought small Scunci Hair Clips (for children's hair). I twist the hair on each side of her thighs and hold it with a hair clip. I don't twist the hair on her legs. Make sure not to clip the hair to tight. I don't need to clip the hair on her tail because it doesn't get in the way anymore but you can if you need to. Just make sure you DON'T clip the tail. Only clip the hair. I keep Lola's tail hair about 4-5 inches and no longer have a problem. Then you "must" shaved the hair around the potty area with an electric razor. Be very careful not to bit them with the clippers or they will never trust you again. I do this at least once a month during her bath time. I haven't had a problem since. I live in an apartment, so we have to take her out for potty time. So before we leave I put her hair clips in her hair and we remove them when we return. It is so much cleaner and she doesn't get any pee-pee on her long hair either. She doesn't have the smell of urine in her hair anymore either. It's so much very cleaner.

These are the clips I use... 10-12 per package. I was able to find them at my grocery store in the hair product area.
