Does Anyone Have This Problem?

[MissSophie]

Yes, we do have that problem. However, we don't have a fenced yard, and we just send Sophie out the back door (slider onto the deck and to grass beyond) with an extension leash. If it is raining, we have to walk her out, but since she is on a leash, she doesn't have much choice. Sometimes she just goes around the corner and under the eaves. She will potty this way, but we often have a problem with the poop issue since she needs time to do the sniffing and finding a place thing.

I have the same problem! Lily saw it was raining outside here the other day at the door, turned around, and squatted right at the threshhold of the door. Lovely.

We have so many terrible storms in So.Flo that when it is really soggy, I put a pee pee pad on the patio under the over hang and Barclay goes there. This keeps him "on track" with housebreaking. So proud of my little 6 month old 9 days and counting... Not 1 accident- he has been a bear to break!

I am wondering if you can pee pad train in the garage where it is warmer and doesn't rain. Mine is out door trained but i am thinking of trying pads in the gargage when it gets colder. Then, maybe they wouldn't associate it with the inside of your house. Has anyone ever done this????

My dog doesn't like the rain or all that nasty snow we get here. She is 15 mos. She is trained for outside and will use the wee wee pads also. Needless to say she's been using them off and on lately. They are a life saver to me. Good luck!

[JeanieK]

Yes I have the same problem. there's a lake of pee in the laundry room when it rains. I'm constantly mopping with bleach water. I've thought of putting a table out there that they could go under but I doubt that they would walk that far. Even if it's done raining and still wet out, they won't go out.

Gizzie does the same thing

[erickajm]

We too have this problem with Zoe...Brady could care less and Peppee...he is iffy...I usually take them out under the boy's trampoline...usually works for the most part.

Suzi has never seen the rain.. Not yet ! She loves water though, and does not mind getting her paws wet. I bought her A rain jacket, but it is way too big !
She will get a new rain coat, because I am afraide she will catch A chill . It will be an entirely new experience for her.

[littlewhip]

going thru the same thing here with my 2 girls
we have had rain 3 days non stop , and they will not go outside, even tryed the garage and no go peepads they just stand there and look at me , so yeah lots of accidents here to

[velobabe]

Phoebe doesn't like the rain either but she's picky on sunny days too. We can have her outside for awhile and she'll still come in and pee/poop inside. She's 6 months old now and there is still no rhyme or reason to it that I can figure out anyway. I wish it was just on rainy days

[jenlew]

Jolliver doesn't like the rain either, i have to carry the umbrella out and then he only does his business on the sidewalk instead of the grass. i don't get to upset about the sidewalk business because its raining and it'll wash away

[Maxi]

Oh Maxi wont go outside if it is raining. As soon as I open the door and he is about to run out on the leash, he sees the rain and turns back. I tell him to pee quick and he does and we go inside. He has the rain coat on him yet still hates the rain. We go outside after the rain.
I would suggest wee wee pads in your garage. That way they know they can go only there if it rains. Stay in the garage the whole time until they will pee on the pad. Sometimes you have to point where to go. Once they pee give them treats.

[Katylou]

None of my three will go out in the rain - I have even went so far as to put on my Clogs and take an umbrella out. That works with my bichon. My poodle will hold it for hours before he will go out and Katy uses her pads all the time anyway.

[Dara311]

Besides having Fiona, I have 2 dachshunds (whom live with my parents) the would not go out in the rain or snow- I had to train them to go out to pee in the rain and snow by saying "quickly, quickly" and they will go real fast, and then come inside! Thank god that Fiona is not like that- she loves the rain, mud, puddles, and the funny thing is, as soon as you put her in the tub, she starts whining! go figure!
