Patty, Drake had that very same problem and although I'm definitely not an expert, I would like to tell you that what I did was bought a shallow litterbox and put his pad inside it, so that he would have to step into it in order to go! He didn't mind it all and it worked for us! The only problem was, although he was neutered at a very young age, and I was told he would NEVER hike his leg....WRONG (lol).....once he decided to start hiking, he hiked up against the litterbox, which defeated the whole purpose! lol
I was told he was hiking because he was watching Harley (my yorkie-poo that is trained to go outside only) hike his leg and he was being a copycat! Drake hasn't been outside as much and has stopped the leg hiking though....thank goodness!
Although the hiking itself was quite aggravating, I have to tell you it was HILARIOUS to watch him copy Harley outside.....especially since Harley weighs 22 lbs. and Drake is 4 lbs.! lol |
