I really clean and disinfect it.I have small kids in my home and I am a VERY big CLEAN freak.My dogs had never been outside a day in there life when they were rescued and even though we do our daily walks they will not go outside for anything .They will hold it when we go out for walks or to the park.When we get home they get in the box and do there business.Oh and I don't use dog liter which you can buy.I find it too messy.I get the cat liter odor elimater with clumping action.Again I don't know how everyone feels about this but I talked to the Vet and he said it won't hurt them.By the way my babies are over 2 yrs. old and I have only had them 8 months and it didn't take long to train them on this.Boy would I go nuts on doing happy dances and smothering them with kisses when they used the box.I am silly like that thoughGood luck! Try it out.
That's it right there. That's exactly what I'm gonna do. I can get it big enough to where he can go inside and he can still move around and play a little bit. I'm still going to want him to go outside sometimes though. If we're around its good to get him outside so he can run around and I'd also like him to think its ok to go outside if he's outside. Are they smart enough to understand litter box or outside?
