| Astro Turf for training dogs? I've seen on a few sites that they are selling some kind of artifical grass mats that your suppose to put outside your door, and it attracks the dogs to go on them. Does anyone know about this. The new maltipoo I received has terrible potty issues. Probably why I got him for free. His old owners never had him neutered, because he only has one testicle down, and he's three years old. She thought the surgery might be quite expensive, because they'd have to go up inside him to get the other one down and out. Does anyone how much this might cost? Do you think if I get him neutered this will help with the potty issue? I take him out every hour to an hour and a half, and I watch him go; give him a treat, but he'll still come in lift his leg and pee. He's gotten a lot better with the poo part. Thanks for any help you could give. I don't want to give up on him, because he's the sweetest most loving dog.

| I am so glad you rescued your pup from their last owner! Some people just don't realize how precious a dog is. I can tell you are a true dog lover. I use to work at a vet and i know a thing or two about training. The one thing that I ALWAYS tell new dog owners is SPAY or Neuter your pet. The reasons why is because you can see a hugh character change when it is performed when they are still young. More than likely your dog is no longer a puppy (under 1 years old). The grass boxes are a great idea for training. I bought one from this site called Dog Potty Outlet. They have really good ones. I decided to go with the Pet Loo. My parents were having the same problem with a dog they just rescued. I recommended this Pet Loo to them and he totally adapted to it within 2 weeks. I look at it this way, you would end up paying a trainer the same amount of money as buying one of these potties, to come to your house and tell you exactly what you already know. Hope this helps you out:0) |
